I agree, but... If you are dealing with corporate standards where they 
like seeing a graphical image of something (like their logo) other than 
driver versions/initscript startups, then you'll want to get that blue 
screen up as fast as possible. It's nice that it's helping gdm's startup 
time, but that's several seconds in the future :-)

Put it in the background, immediately. But the other services still deal 
with the thrashing...
