Can I tell HAL to just handle power management instead of touching anything
else, and get it to do the right thing in a headless, GUIless server
environment?  Can I do that with standard, system-wide configuration files?

My guess is that yes, that's how HAL is designed to work, but it never hurts
too much to be sure...

As long as system-wide is possible, AND user-wide *without* GUI is also
possible... you're correct, of course.
