I, too, have seen this same problem, but with OpenMotif (mwm) as my window manager. I have solved the problem by changing the lines: dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" to dbus_enable="NO" hald_enable="NO" in my /etc/rc.conf file. This makes things in xorg-7.4_2 and open-motif-2.2.3_6 and 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #0: Tue Sep 15 14:33:54 EDT 2009 work for me.
