[PATCH] config: if we can't connect to HAL, listen for a startup notification.

Thu Feb 5 21:22:07 PST 2009


If HAL isn't available when we try to connect, the registered NameOwnerChanged
signal handler waits until HAL is available. Once we connected to HAL, we
unregister the signal handler again.
This allows HAL to be started in parallel or after the server has started.

This is the version without the race condition. We register for the signal
immediately, then unregister on success. On failure, we just wait for the
signal to happen and add the devices then.
