	No-joy.  I followed the "full-gnome" tag instructions to the
	letter.  Ran pkgdb -F twice, one portupgrade -a.  Upon reboot;
	same.  I wind up at a root login and have to use the kdm widget.
	Both hal and dbus are in /var/db. hal is missing from the ps ax
	listing; dbus is there.

  621  ??  Is     0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/gdm-binary
p1 14:20 <tao2> [579] psag hal
p1 14:20 <tao2> [580] psag dbus
 1126  ??  I      0:00.00 dbus-launch --autolaunch 0630eeaa5fc7c9e3ea1e2f004657
 1127  ??  Is     0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 6 --pri
 1128  ??  Is     0:00.01 dbus-daemon --fork --print-address 16 --print-pid 18 
p1 14:20 <tao2> [581]                                                


	I'm rebuilding hal; de-/re-installing.  See if the daemon fires
	up.  Nope, no hald......  

	Ideas?
