[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#550907: dbus: fails to start at boot and doesn't works very well after it's, started manually

[Fred]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.16-2
Severity: important

Hello,

Since last update, dbus fails to start at boot (hal problem ?).

At a boot :
When X server and GDM started, I loose keyboard (ctrl+alt+Fx function 
doesn't works, only "magic keys" are ok), mouse and network with 
networkmanager doesn't work (I must use "/etc/network/interfaces method" 
to have an active iface ok at boot).

After restart it, keyboard, mouse and networkmanager works perfectly, I 
can logging my gnome session.

On my session, the function "ajusting brightness" on the laptop is often 
corrupted. The luminosity of the laptop's screen varies between 80% and 
100% in the form of regular blinking (I do _nothing_, just starting a 
session). The second problem is dbus eats all of the CPU.

These problems can be partially resolved with restarting dbus. But, 
Nautilus crashes, the brightness applet can't connect to dbus/hal and 
suspend to ram doesn't work after.

If I launch a video from VLC (from example), the OSD for the brightness 
applet  appears as I use the applet.

I'm not sure, but I think theses bug reports are about the ame problem :
