Yeah, this is exactly the bugginess (?) I was seeing when using the HAL 
that ships with Dapper.  Everything looked okay with the config but HAL 
just wouldn't see it.  Interestingly, it seemed to work whenever the
Karma was plugged in at boot, but at no other time.  Edgy seems to get
this right, all the time.

Well, it looks like it interprets the policy phase of things but not
the information phase.  I also experimented with moving 20-rio-karma.fdi
around (/usr/share/hal/... e.g.) but that didn't help things at all.

Hmm, yeah that looks wrong.  I think HAL ignores non-policy keys in 
preferences.fdi.

Sure, I'll post the output of lshal later on.
