With the exception of the Thunderbird and timidity issues (and I can't reproduce the timidity one here at all), every bug you've responded to in gutsy appears to be down to your issue with Hal. And, judging by the log there, your system was entirely broken:
03:13:09.373 [W] ids.c:294: Couldn't stat pci.ids file '/usr/share/misc/pci.ids', errno=13: Permission denied 03:13:09.373 [W] ids.c:515: Couldn't stat usb.ids file '/usr/share/misc/usb.ids', errno=13: Permission denied 03:13:09.373 [E] osspec.c:310: Unable to inotify_add_watch() for '/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe': Permission denied indicates either filesystem corruption or that something has heavily screwed with the permissions. It certainly doesn't look anything like a hal bug.
