[PATCH] Add hal/dbus fallback when not able to talk to hal/dbus daemons.

[Paulo César Pereira de Andrade]

  This is a possible solution for the problem reported in the
"xorg server should wait HAL if it's not avail during init"
thread.

  In my tests, it worked when running this:

% sudo service haldaemon stop; startx -- -verbose 3

  After waiting all the timeouts, it loaded kbd and mouse
drivers, and I had a usable desktop (I don't use gnome/kde).

  And also worked when running:

% startx -- -verbose 3 & sleep 5; sudo service haldaemon start

  After a few "timeouts" it managed to connect to hal and
"just worked" as expected.

  Maybe the timeouts should be configurable, etc. But consider
this, a "beta" patch :-)

  (The attached patch doesn't include the "trivial" changes
required to compile today's git master).

Thanks,
Paulo
