I'm not too far from doing that. A bit more work describing the
installation of GNOME-Python and I'll be ready.

I agree.

I am leaning that way as well now. The text about the user/group
being needed to avoid the warning message warrants doing it.
And, I can't help but think the hald daemon will be modified in
the future to support working without the --retain-privileges
switch. At least the discussion on the HAL mailing list leads me
to believe that.

I believe the problem is that they don't want to make all the
callout programs SUID root (some distros are doing that) and an
unprivileged user just can't perform the required tasks.
