In explicit correspondence with their names, these settings enable to run dbus 
and hald. dbus is a D-Bus messaging daemon, hald is a HAL daemon. These 
programs are using in X environment to automount DVD's, flashcards and 
another, even mices and keyboards

Since Xorg 1.7.5 running dbus and hald is required in some hardware equipment.
