You can kill hald at login by creating a script, something like this:
#!/bin/bash echo "password" | sudo -S /etc/init.d/hal stop
save it, and add to the autostart list at MainMenu->System->ControlCenter->Sessions
You will lose the battery meter + the usb drive autoconnect. I use scripts to mount and unmount my external drives, and place their icon onto my desktop.
