no, no, no. I mean renaming an d rewqriting the start script in
/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d!=20
Like:
PREFIX=3D/usr/X11R6
case "$1" in
start)
export LANG=3Dde
export LANGUAGE=3Dde
export LC_TYPE=3Dde_DE.8859-15
export LC_ALL=3Dde_DE.8859-15
${PREFIX}/bin/gdm
;;
stop)
/usr/bin/killall -m gdm 2>/dev/null
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` start | stop"
exit 64
;;
esac
exit 0

The scripts are started in a special order (rcorder). They wait on
special conditions a certain time. If this time is over the script runs
without checking the conditions. That's my interpretation of the whole
problem.
