Of all the PoetteringStuff out there, PA's the one that's caused me the
least problems.  I know that I'm in some vanishingly small minority there,
because it seems to cause problems for everyone around me.  One of my
colleagues needs to "jiggle the wires" every time he wants to use gHangouts
because PA gets itself in a tizzy.

Now *Avahi*, on the other hand... FML.
