Having the daemons running is not a problem, but the case where this
fails would be that you are running Kubuntu (which uses hal for
automounting), have udisks installed, and start gparted. Admittedly
this is not a very common scenario, but it's easy to fix this case as
well by locking both hal and udisks.
Curtis, would you mind committing something like in comment 8?
