org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths =
{'hal-system-power-suspend', 'hal-system-power-hibernate',
'hal-system-power-shutdown', 'hal-system-power-reboot',
'hal-system-power-set-power-save'} (string list)

{'i', '', '', '', 'b'} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_names =
{'Suspend', 'Hibernate', 'Shutdown', 'Reboot', 'SetPowerSave'} (string list)
