Well, that's interesting. I don't think the errors are completely
inoccuous;
for example, I got errors almost the same with xscreensaver, and in that
case
it was actually failing to function correctly.

Still, your information is what I wanted - to know if I'd stuffed things
up or
if this was 'typical' behaviour on an untouched Slackware 12 installation.
Thanks for the advice.

Thanks again. I understand why HAL would be grayed out; it's running as
separate daemons as part of the OS. Not sure what 'cd polling' is
though.

Thanks Jeffrey,
