Dear all,

There have been reports that gnome-pilot can only sync once after each
reboot.  Recently a user seems to have tracked this down to HAL
behaviour, in which the 'device_added' event only fires once, even if
the palmos device is physically unplugged from the host.

This doesn't sound right to me.  I wonder if this behaviour is a known
regression in HAL, or is it intended for some reason I'm not fathoming?
Apologies if this is a FAQ - I didn't spot it after a quick scan through
the list archives for the last couple of months.

System info from the reporter:
hal: 0.5.9.1
hal-info: 0.20070831
kernel: 2.6.22-ARCH
udev: 115
