Thanks, David.  I agree; I've generally had more problems with X, hal,
pam, consolekit and polkit than everything else combined.  I did try
your suggestions, in full and individually.

Adding that ServerFlags section to xorg.conf made no apparent
difference; without both hald and dbus running I can start X but no
mouse and effectively no keyboard (I can ctrl-alt-del to reboot, but
everything else is dead.)

Thanks for your suggestions.  Hopefully someone, somewhere has had a
similar problem.
