I'm running xfce on both my desktop and my laptop. When I log in to either, I get an error from xfce power manager telling me that hal isn't running. That in itself, although annoying, isn't a serious problem, but it does stop my laptop from hibernating until I start hal, log out, and log in again. (There's probably a better way than logging out/in, but I haven't looked yet). If hal isn't mostly necessary any more, it might have been an idea to state that in the changelog.
