I've found a better work around in this bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/37683

The working is to remove or comment out any smbfs mounts in /etc/fstab

I commented out the line in /etc/fstab that was mounting a share of a Windows PC and then re-installed ubuntu-desktop (which got me back hal and gnome-volume-manager).

When I rebooted everything worked normally and the freezing problem I was having accessing images on my USB camera was also fixed.

I can do without smbfs for now. Should this bug be filed against smbfs?
