Rebooting and shutdown made difficult

[Michal Jaegermann <michal harddata com>]

With recent updates I got serious troubles when shutting down and
rebooting a machine from a desktop menu (no problem when a desktop
session is not present).  What I could find is filed as
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498514
Am I the only one seeing that or this is wider affliction?

I "charged" that to hal as hald-addon-input appears to be a stuck
process but I am not sure what is the real culprit.
