maybe this could be something to be merged with entrance. entranced is actually
started as the first thing in init -instead of just another init script item,
then entranced spawns the fb or dfb display client and talks to it messaging it
via IPC to indicate boot status. when boot is ready and x can be run it asks
fb/dfb child client to exit, starts x and then starts x client.... entrance
would come with a cmd-line status util so you'd fill your init scripts with
these for example:
entrance_status -txt "Checking File System" -ico "/boot/icons/filesys.eet"
entrance_status -log "Error checking File System"
entrance_status -cmd "start-x"
:)
