Pretty sure this is still needed for polkit. But I could be wrong. I was 
wrong that one time, but then it turned out that I was actually right, 
and was wrong about being wrong.

devd is used, or can be used, for keyboard and mouse hotplug detection 
in X.  But it doesn't do the other stuff that hald did.  Which shouldn't 
matter in this case, as xfce just used hal to detect hotplugged storage 
devices.
