On a fresh install of feisty final, using no auto-login but instead
waiting until all init scripts are finished and then logging manually
in, I still get the error. I tried

# sudo dpkg-reconfigure hal

which gave me:
UUID file '/var/lib/dbus/machine-id' contains invalid hex data

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/dbus# cat machine-id 
Name: adduser/homedir-permission

Right, this doesn't look like a hex value ;) I don't know where this
string comes from. I deleted machine-id and did

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/dbus# dbus-uuidgen --ensure
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/dbus# cat machine-id 
8084dbe5dda580d55fa79e0046418245

This looks better.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/run/dbus# /etc/init.d/dbus restart
works now.

I'll try a reboot now to see if it still works or if my machine-id gets
overwritten with invalid data again.
