I don't run X using xdm because doing so means /usr is always busy and
thus you can't do a "mount -ru /usr" before loading a module thus saving
a lot of time on boot if the module panics the system.  This is
especialy critical on my laptop where fsck takes 5-10 minutes on /usr.
Backgroups fsck is a real savior, but it's still a pain.
