Thanks !
And I don't know if that's thanks to your rc.d script rework, but now
I don't have to set LANG in this script any more. Before that, my kde
session was only half-localized without LANG in the rc.d/kdm4 script.

Decently, yes ! Not a single problem, really ok for my usage, but
please note that :
- I choose my mixer with hw.snd.default_unit, without hal I only have
"OSS default output" as device in phonon (kmix still displays all the
mixers). Oh and, btw, when I was using hald I didn't have "default" in
my sound devices.
- I don't mount filesystems  (cd, usb key) as a user from my kde
session, I only mount from a root prompt
- In order to use k3b, I have to "onestart" hald, but it can be done
after the kde session is open

I look forward to test your devd solid backend as soon as it's possible !
