Hi Charlie, (I think this should really go to questions@... but maybe i'm wrong) I run dbus, hald and XFCE4 on 6.2 STABLE (have been for a while). I haven't seen any of the problems you describe. My relevant rc.conf bits are : ---- # Hardware Abstraction Layer ## supported by XFCE 4.4 and Thunar hald_enable="YES" polkitd_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" ----- You can change them to NO and they'll be disabled in the next boot. Any messages in ~/.xsession-errors ? or /var/log/messages ?
