I tried disabling each individual one.
Disabling hald causes my mouse to die.
Disabling dbus does not affect anything, or at least I didn't see the effect.
In all cases, startx still does not work.

gua at bsdhost:~% kdeinit4 --no-fork --no-kded
Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)

and also the same to mine

gua at bsdhost:~% konsole
konsole(1562)/kdeui (KIconLoader): Unable to find an appropriate lock to guard the shared cache.  This *should* be essentially impossible. :( 
konsole(1562)/kdeui (KIconLoader): Unable to perform initial setup, this system probably does not really support process-shared pthreads or semaphores, even though it claims otherwise. 
konsole: Fatal IO error: client killed
konsole(1562) Konsole::SessionManager::~SessionManager: Konsole SessionManager destroyed with sessions still alive 

I have also tried rm -rf .kde .local to start it over from scratch.
It still does not work.

I have also tried FBSD8.1R from DVD on my current machine.
I encountered the same problem.
But my previous machine had no problems with 7.1R (fresh from CD), 7.2R (cvsup)
and 8.0R (csup).

This may be hardware-specific issue, I think.
Tomorrow I shall try 7.4R with my current machine.
If it's okay, I shall stay with RELENG_7_X.
Any comments are still welcome.

Thank you very much to you all.
