Comment 29 for bug 27323

Aside from any posible future nautilus UI, I'm not seeing from the hal-disable-polling documentation how someone could use it to disable all polling. It looks like you'd have to mount an investigation to figure out which devices were being polled (read the discussion in this bug to see that it's not necessarily straightforward), then write a script to be called at boot time to disable each device one by one.

This bug is asking for a way to say, simply, "don't poll anything". Which hal-disable-polling doesn't seem to provide.
