I'm seeing the same problem as Matthew, i have tried uevent_listen.c
and it works corretly when i plug somehting and then remove it, i see
all the hotplug messages and stuff, but hald will not start.

if i run it with: hald --daemon=no i get this error:
[DIE] osspec.c:osspec_init():328 : Unable to bind to netlink socket

i have found the problem, it happends that if i launch hald without
the --retain-privileges option it changes the user to haldaemon, and
is not able to bind to the netlink socket beacuse it needs root
privileges to do so.
