Simple POV, isn't it? The Services dialog is PRESUMED to be working OK 
by showing as ticked the services which are already running. If it is 
not working as expected, it is not a problem of "breaking the system 
doing administrative tasks". This is named a "bug".

More than that, if udev was really running, it should work as expected 
and detect the USB devices (mouse, touchpad and keyboard in my case) 
which are already connected, instead of requiring them to be 
disconnected and reinserted. Also, udev and other services should not 
disconfigure things if they are already loaded and something tries to 
load them again. It should be just "show error message, abort loading 
and go".

AFAIK, Xorg and evdev in particular have been pested by bugs related to 
HAL devices detection for a while, and nobody solves them.
