KDE doesn't connect to HAL
Hi,
I've several (KDE) etch systems that can't access removable devices
attached to the system.
In detail:
When I plug in an usb memory stick, nothing happens. No syslog entries
or whatsoever. But I can see the device with "lsusb".
When I klick on an icon in the konqueror "Storage Media" menu, then I get
the error message "Feature only available with HAL".
The menu item "Enable HAL backend" in "Control Center"->"Storage Media"
is greyed out, even when I start the Control Center as root.
Actually hald is running:
(but why does ps show the numerical uid "106" instead of "haldaemon" as the
process owner?)

the same with dbus:

Any hint? Thanks a lot, Th. Gebhardt
