Probably not such a strange reason. What if you've hosed the fonts, then
you can't get back to the font configuration tool to fix it.

It's similar to the problem that yuo can't use MCC to get to mousedrake
without a mouse (D'Oh). Sure, most of us know that we can run mousedrake
in a console, but I have personally had to tell newbies that so they could
get a working mouse.

Similar things should be done in other areas, so that users don't have to
know every single app in existance to fix something basic.

Like maybe if xkeepscrashing, start it up in framebuffer mode running
XFdrake?

I mean, windows95 did the equivalent (Safe Mode).
