Yes, I'm using HAL and Dbus. I'm getting the following error when I try to start
my desktop with xfce4-session installed (which, except for the process ID, is
just like the other failure reports I've found in the mailing list archives):
===
process 1675: arguments to dbus_message_new_signal() were incorrect, assertion

This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not compiled with backtrace support so unable to print a backtrace

I've deinstalled and reinstalled libICE and all xfce4 ports since updating Xorg.

OK, a general question then: could anyone running an FreeBSD 8.0 amd64
kernel/userland report that they have a working Xorg 7.5/xfce4 installation?
