I have better idea than to dump the newbie to XFdrake (that is finally a
security risk, since the tool runs as root - i.e. you reboot, X fails,
XFdrake runs, you are away from the machine and somebody screws your
computer in the meantime).

Why not put a message into /etc/issue saying to run XFdrake ? It will
display on the console, so the newbie gets the idea to do it. It is
trivial change and will fix the issue.
