problem found to be in pcmanfm itself.

** Summary changed:

- HAL - service init scripts missing from package
+ pcmanfm - does not trigger hal startup

** Package changed: hal (Ubuntu) => pcmanfm (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: hal
+ Since hal service daemon has been removed from system startup - pcmanfm
+ should try to connect to hal, even if no service is running.
  
- [~] dpkg -L hal | grep etc
- /etc
- /etc/hal
- /etc/hal/fdi
- /etc/hal/fdi/information
- /etc/hal/fdi/policy
- /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi
- /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe
- /etc/dbus-1
- /etc/dbus-1/system.d
- /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf
- 
- 
- As you can see from above, the service init scripts for hal are missing from 
the Lucid package, this causes applications that depend on hald to not function 
properly.
- ie: thunar or pcmanfm managing external disks/cdroms.
- 
- The current workaround I'm doing is putting 'hald --daemon=yes' in the
- rc.local file, this is _not_ acceptable. If I install a service, I
- expect it to come with the necessary configuration to be hooked easily
- into the boot process.
- 
- 
- Please re-add:
- /etc/init.d/hal
- /etc/init/hal.conf
-
