garnome-2.17.2 and hal-0.5.8.1

[Peter <sw98234 hotmail com>]

For some users hal-0.5.8.1, including the git sources, simply does not
work. The daemon crashes. Using hal-0.5.7.1 does not work with the
garnome-2.17.2 sources since geektoys/gnome-mount depends on hal
>=0.5.8.1. Hacking the Makefile for gnome-mount to accept hal-0.5.7.1 does
not work since gnome-mount-0.5 uses library calls not in 0.5.7.1 and it
crashes nautilus.

A workaround for me was to uninstall gnome-mount and then copy over the
gnome-mount-0.4 sources from 2.16.1 and install that.

For me, anyway, that appears to have gotten around some of the issues
introduced in the new hal. Maybe I got it wrong, and if there is a more
elegant solution, I'd love to know.

HTH
