Ok where is the bug now? You need hal for KDE.

kde 4.1.3 working without hal. i think hal must be optional.

No, hal is not optional. But you can compile your own packages without hal support and disable consolekit in kdebase-workspace.

it's really need consolekit in kdebase-workspace? (i dont know, maybe its really important)
with kde-workspace-4.1.3-1 works fine, i dont need start dbus or hal in rc.conf.
i dont need hal-features in kde (automount, hardware info plasmoids)
after updates i was surprised.
i think users should have choice, not all are using hal.


btw, howto switch off consolekit in kdebase-workspace?
