From a python script using python-dbus it's imposible connecto to any hal
signal. For example, hal-device-manager don't update itself when a device is
added, because the signal DeviceAdded isn't captured.

Confirmed here in an up-to-date Breezy.

Versions:

ii dbus 0.35.2-0ubuntu5 simple interprocess messaging system
ii hal 0.5.3-0ubuntu9 Hardware Abstraction Layer

I think this is a major bug since lots of apps use dbus+hal for device managing.

It is not that serious, since hal itself works fine, just the frontend (h-d-m)
is broken. It seems to be fixed upstream:

I investigate this.
