Yep, just disable hal for one.  Since hal is gone, dbus may be another 
that would disable that.  I don't see the need tho.  Until you asked, I 
didn't even notice that it was there.  Just don't use it.  I been using 
GIMP for a good while and still haven't figured out more than half of 
it.  I think it can do everything except wash dishes.  lol

I'm just glad to have something that doesn't kill my mouse and keyboard.
