Yes, I know that that works (I discovered that fairly shortly after sending 
the BR). But it still seems to me to be a bug that the method I used does 
not work.

The problem seems to be that when the polling is disabled 
in /etc/hal/information/.. it does work, but when it is disabled 
in /etc/hal/policy/.. it does not.

And when I checked the hal documentation I found absolutely no indication of 
why that should be so.

And even if using policy is wrong, hal should not behave so inconsistent as 
shown in my example: stubbornly insisting that polling is disabled when it 
isn't.

Cheers,
FJP
