Writing a boot script to fix a confirmed and resolvable bug which is starting to grow really old and smelly in the pipeline? Instead of doing the right thing and go bug and *help* the people that have the ability and responsibility to fix the bugs they've introduced way too many linux folks tend to happily spend hours of creating hapless and embarrassing workarounds. I think that's the dark side of geek culture: For any given problem we rather create 10 ridiculous kludges instead of come up with the one obvious solution (fixing the original problem). The irony of this: Linux geeks are totally unaware of the FUD this creates among non-geeks who want to get rid of windows because of microsoft's FUD.
