With the exception of the Thunderbird and timidity issues (and I can't 
reproduce the timidity one here at all), every bug you've responded to 
in gutsy appears to be down to your issue with Hal. And, judging by the 
log there, your system was entirely broken:

03:13:09.373 [W] ids.c:294: Couldn't stat pci.ids file 
'/usr/share/misc/pci.ids', errno=13: Permission denied
03:13:09.373 [W] ids.c:515: Couldn't stat usb.ids file 
'/usr/share/misc/usb.ids', errno=13: Permission denied
03:13:09.373 [E] osspec.c:310: Unable to inotify_add_watch() for 
'/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe': Permission denied

indicates either filesystem corruption or that something has heavily 
screwed with the permissions. It certainly doesn't look anything like a 
hal bug. What are you actually complaining about?
