Ack. Should be nice to see on a Live CD :)

Would this benefit a desktop install too ?
On Belenix 0.4.3a installed onto my laptop, I get a 56 second statup
for an XFCE desktop - that's from hitting enter at grub, logging on as
root with an 8 character password, executing startxfce4, and then
being able to right click on the XFCE4 desktop.
