OK, I see your point. HAL is supposed to keep other daemons from having
to worry about such things. I've conveyed your reply back to the HAL
mailing list.

That said, it's unfortunate that the end result is an Fn+F5 key which
does *nothing* useful out of the box. Even if different users would
want it to do slightly different things, right now it does *nothing* by
default. I'm savvy enough to write my own script that runs as root,
hooks into HAL D-BUS signals, and responds accordingly. Most users
won't do that, so for them, this key is useless.

Oh well. Between HAL and Bluez, things are much better now than they
ever were before. We're not done yet, but at least we're making progress.
