[Bug 31517] Re: hal-device-manager does not load

[Chris Thompson]

I too get the "error failed to initialize HAL" when starting up Gnome.

When I change to KDE at startup, is "seems" to start normally, but if I
try to use Konqueror to browse files, - i.e. by clicking on a folder -
Konqueror hangs.

Also, if I recall corrrectly, when I clicked on the KDE main menu,
system complained that "system processes terminated prematurely" or
something to that effect...
