the runner does the following to setup it's dbus connection:
  dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main(c, NULL);
  dbus_connection_set_exit_on_disconnect(c, TRUE);

As soon as the dbus connection is broken the runner will automagically exit. In
that case it doesn't kill it's children. 

I've throught about that be imho the children should do the same, if their dbus
connection to the hal deamon dies, they should exit. This because if
hald_runner and hal get killed (or crash)for some reason crashethe kids 
should exit too.
