"They think that they can remove HAL and still have stuff like USB hotplugging/automounting working",in Xorg 1.8, udev will replace HAL . we can use devicekit-disks package to mount USB stick or CD,USE polkit-gnome or ntfs3g to mount NTFS filesystem. so HAL is not needed.may be modify gnome-mount ebuild ,remove HAL depedency and put it in local OVERLAY .maybe slove the problem.
