1. boot
    keyboard works at console
    running dbus processes:
     4495 dbus-daemon
2. log into X via slim
    keyboard does not work at console
    running dbus processes:
     4495 dbus-daemon
     7419 dbus-launch
     7420 dbus-daemon
3. kill dbus-launch
    keyboard works at console

The 'hal' package isn't installed.

Actually, the password is accepted if I type really slow, holding each key an 
extra-long time... but typing slow doesn't work otherwise (only for the 
password prompt).

Sorry for the delay; I wasn't getting your report replies for some reason 
(reporting a bug automatically subscribes you, right?).
