HAL support in Xfce has many other bugs:
* the "eject" button on by DVD-RW produces (when a CD is mounted) a cryptic
message, instead of unmounting and ejecting the CD: Given device
"/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVDRW_SH_16A7S" is not a volume or
drive. See http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2968
* when inserting CDs that contain DivX AVI files with the .vob extension in
the VIDEO_TS folder (as commonly sold in Russia), the volume manager apparently
misrecognizes them as DVDs and starts (per my configuration) VLC, which
mistreats them for audio CDs and plays loud noise that is theoretically able to
damage speakers. Not reported upstream yet.
So, it may be a good idea to disable HAL support in the future Xfce packages.
