VMware Workstation 7.1, dbus and hal

Older thread on the subject: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=230142

I'm running VMware Workstation 7.1 in Xfce 4.8, with dbus running and hal not.

I get:

$ vmware
[ snip ]
process 30387: Attempt to remove filter function 0x7f591ecdb320 user data 0xa2b452, but no such filter has been added

If I either stop dbus (which breaks alot of other things), or start hal along with dbus, it works.

dbus hal => VMware works
!dbus !hal => VMware works
dbus !hal => VMware doesn't work (although this is the setup I'd like, dbus without hal).

Any ideas here?  I'd really rather not have to start hal.
