I'm using an immediate hald startup right now with
the traditional KDM entry in /etc/ttys and everything
seems just spiffy.  In particular, keyboard and mouse
are quite happy.  (My only problem right now are some
X shutdown issues which I believe to be unrelated.)

I'm not sure how to check "CK reports the correct
active session", though.  Pointers?
