The problem has been tracked down and can be worked around by
re-installing the xorg-server with HAL disabled.

cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server
make config (uncheck the top entry for HAL)
portupgrade -f xorg-server

I fix for the problem should be committed in a day or two. One part is
still under test and flz needs to approve (and probably make the commit)
for the xorg part of the fix. The Gnome hald part is probably already
committed.
