This is wrong; the service is called org.freedesktop.Hal. Granted, D-BUS
can be a bit confusing with services, interfaces and object paths
especially because services and interfaces use the same notation style.

Attached is a tiny python program (that will go in the updated hal spec
which will be out anytime soon) that lists the devices exported by hal
and reacts to changes when devices are added/removed.

Hope this helps,
David
