This bug is nearly 2 years old. Does the issue still exist, or is there now a way to disable polling, customise the polling interval, and/or reduce polling to a single daemon? If not, I believe the priority of this bug should be increased from "low" as it definitely has a negative impact on power

Aside from any posible future nautilus UI, I'm not seeing from the hal- disable-polling documentation how someone could use it to disable all polling.

I agree that the UI is a separate issue. What I was wondering was whether hal had this capability already, and after doing a little digging, discovered that it indeed does, and is enabled by default in Ubuntu. For the benefit of anyone else reading this, I'll explain. (This is from /usr/share/
