So if that is the _solution_, why not try to automate it?
Not tested, just a suggestion:

Make this the last-1 line in ~/.xinitrc (or ~/.xsession depending
on actual setup), before the "exec" call to the WM / DE, maybe
like this:

	#!/bin/sh
	[ -f ~/.xmodmaprc ] && xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
	xterm &
	xsetroot -solid rgb:3b/4c/7a
	xset b 100 1000 15 &
	xset r rate 250 30 &
	xset s off &
	xset -dpms &
 ->	sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart && sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart
	exec wmaker

It should "happen" when X is running, and it should be
"back to normal" when the WM or DE is launched (and
all background programs have fully started).
