I uploaded a fix to hardy-proposed with attached debdiff. Pending
acceptance from Steve now.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gdm
  
  After upgrades from Feisty to Gutsy and from Gutsy to Hardy I get an
  error message after logging in with gdm (2.20.5-0ubuntu3) saying "Failed
  to initialize HAL" but debugging HAL showed that it just comes up fine
  (see attachment). These are the symlinks to gdm and hal in /etc/rc*:
  
  $ ls -l /etc/rc*/*hal
  /etc/rc1.d/K16hal -> ../init.d/hal
  /etc/rc2.d/S24hal -> ../init.d/hal
  /etc/rc3.d/S24hal -> ../init.d/hal
  /etc/rc4.d/S24hal -> ../init.d/hal
  /etc/rc5.d/S24hal -> ../init.d/hal
  $ ls -l /etc/rc*/*gdm*
  /etc/rc0.d/K01gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
  /etc/rc1.d/K01gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
  /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
  /etc/rc3.d/S13gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
  /etc/rc4.d/S13gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
  /etc/rc5.d/S13gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
  /etc/rc6.d/K01gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
  
  HAL is started after gdm and if I login to quickly HAL is not running
  yet. I was hinted to this by Martin Pitt (who thinks that this an Feisty
  upgrade issue) in another bug report:
  
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/25931/comments/180
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ Move /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm to S13gdm to simulate a broken upgrade. Then upgrade 
to the hardy-proposed version. The symlinks should be fixed to be at level 30 
(after hal starts).

"Failed to intialize HAL" error message after gdm login. possibly because of 
wrong gdm priority in /etc/rc*/
