Yeah, they changed that from 'Bounce' to 'Fwd as redirect' sometime ago;
I had trouble finding it when I needed to bounce a mail :-). Oh well.

You're probably better off just invoking uname from python (or maybe
it's exported in python somewhere) I guess; we've only put kernel.*
properties in hal so we can use it for matching on device information
files (and for hal > 0.5 the kernel.* properties on
the /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer object moved to
system.kernel.* and I still need to update the spec)

David
