description: 
Two days ago I installed hal, hal-gnome and libhal0. 
When I found it caused lots of errors I removed them, waiting for other bugfixes.

Today when I started userdrake I saw the group & user haldaemon had remained, so
I decided to remove them for now.

Removing user haldaemon I was given the opportunity to flag 2 options: remove
user home directory and remove user's mail directory. So I thought "it can;t
hurt, let's flag these". But finishing the removal closed down userdrake
completely without warning and threw following very strange error to the terminal:

[root@dvg dvg]# Home Directory Could Not be deleted: Error removing
`//mnt/cdrom0/amarok-1.0.2-2mdk.i586.rpm': Read-only file system.

[1]+  Done                    userdrake
[root@dvg dvg]

Indeed there was such a cdrom with such a file in the tray at that time, but I
don't see the relevance to userdrake.

Later, I realized that the haldaemon "home" directory was "/", which could of
course not be removed. In case of such user's, perhaps it would be better not to
give the opportunity to remove the "home" directory.

Also, removing a user should not kill userdrake. Although, it did remove the
user as it should.
