I'm not sure I understand your point... No need to piggyback, if you look at that attachment, you'll see that I already implemented function to determine whether Xserver is loaded or not. Problem is, when Xserver is finally ready, BOINC should restart itself. Or BOINC shouldn't start at all until Xserver is ready.
