No, I just posted it here. If you look back in this newsgroup you
will find also what the error message was with hald. I could not
shutdown the machine with the normal xfce4 and so I found another
solution, it does not need to have hald/dbus.

Well I solved it for now, I have used *BSD since I started with
386bsd as a user and still do. This was just one of these unfortunate
problems.

Thanls again for you reply, it might help pthers too.
