Surely gnome-volume-manager and half of the new gnome-vfs stuff
wouldn't also work in this situation?

There's no reason HAL couldn't support the BSD power interface (not
that much work), and I think someone was working on this a while back.
And also there's the question of how many cutting edge GNOME 2.15
installs are going to be done on really old 2.4.x machines...
