I can confirm this; doing a fresh install, dbus does not get
pulled in, and xfconfd will complain and not load xfce properly.
After installing "dbus" (on top of dbus-core), it works properly.
This seems to have come up since dbus was dropped as a dependency
for hal.

*poke* - hit this yet again. I'm not sure which xfce component
should have the dbus dep directly (perhaps xfconf?), but it
definitely needs to be added somewhere. Any chance to get this
included? It hits any user trying to install xfce from scratch,
since newer versions of hal will not bring in dbus (only
dbus-core, which is not sufficient here) as before.
