Yea, someone already e-mailed me and suggested I restart dbus along with
hal. I've just recently made the switch to Xorg and I'm still a bit
fuzzy about how things interrelate , so it hadn't occurred to me to
restart dbus when I reconfigured hal.

Aside from the ctrl-alt-bksp bug, this has been the easiest X setup I've
ever done. I've tried it with and without hal and both are easy to set
up. Given my level of ignorance, that's saying something. I've seen a
lot of complaints about Xorg's new system, but I like it.

Thanks for your response. It's great that there are so many helpful
people on this list.
