I ran gvfs-lite on linux for quite a w= hile back in the days that I was a linux distro dev. Should we disable hal in gvfs for this reason? I realize that some programs that rely on gvfs with hal will loose some functionality, so it comes down = to the issue of what's more important. Security or Features.=20=20 I personally side with security, but this isn't my port, so it's not my cho= ice to decide.
