This also happens to me.

Normal user terminal output is:

$ hal-device-manager
<gtk.Menu object (GtkMenu) at 0x76a0502c>

While, if I run this using sudo, I get the following terminal output:

$ gksudo hal-device-manager
(hal-device-manager:4929): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
<gtk.Menu object (GtkMenu) at 0x76a2e07c>

This is a dist-upgraded breezy install. And to make sure it wasn't a faulty install, I forced reinstall of several hal packages via synaptic.
