Since this has been mentioned, I though I'd take the

        I have two systems - one Windows, one FreeBSD - that share
monitor, keyboard, and mouse via a kvm.  FreeBSD had both HAL and
DBUS installed and activated in rc.conf.
        Scenario: I'm working on the FreeBSD system, and switch to the
WIndows system (push the button on the kvm) everything's fine.
        But when I switch back, I an now sitting at the Xdm prompt; I'm
guessing this means X has crashed.
        I experimented a little and discovered if I disable DBUS after
initial boot, this no longer happens.  (It makes some other things
unhappy, but I can live with that.)
        Anyone have anyideas what might be happening and how to unbreak
this?
