[kde-freebsd] problem hal - k3b ?

[Beni]

Hi List,

I think I have a problem with hal(d) and k3b (version 1.0 from ports) : my 
whole system freezes when starting up k3b. I get the splash screen and then 
it all stops and a ctrl-alt-del is the only way out.

I'm using 6.2-stable, kde 3.5.6 with hal enabled in kdebase, I've added the 3 
necessary lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable hald, dbus and polkitd, I've added 
the user to the operator group, commented out the lines in /etc/fstab to 
mount any removable media (except the floppy) and I have added 
the "vfs.usermount=1" to /etc/sysctl.conf.

Further reading of http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q19
and /usr/ports/UPDATING-20061219 doesn't seem to bring any new elements to 
what I have missed.

From my dmesg :

Any idea(s) on what could be wrong ?

Thanks,
