This is entirely unrelated to dbus and hal. On most modern setups, it
probably also won't do anything, as the dm probably starts X with
the '-nolisten tcp' option
As root I'm getting HAL errors:

arrakis ~ # nautilus

why are you running gnome as root?
Bad bad bad boy. Report to the principal's office for detention.
This has been hashed to death by many people who really know what they
are talking about, so I give the executive summary instead:
NEVER EVER RUN X AS ROOT. It's bad enough the bloody thing is suid, but
there's no way around that so we tolerate it.

talks about starting the dbus service before HAL?
properly configured, dbus *will* start before hald:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/init.d $ cat dbus
...
depend() {
need localmount
after bootmisc
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/init.d $ cat hald
...
depend() {
use logger acpid
need dbus
after coldplug dns nscd
}
Do you have dbus and hald properly configured to start in the default
runlevel?
