My main reason to not run -rt normally is to avoid the risk of getting into a lockup when I do something wrong in my patch. ;) A reason not to have it in .pdrc/.pdsettings is, that I often to run two Pds, one for Gem, one for audio. I prefer starting the audio Pd with -rt manually then, while the Gem-Pd won't run with -rt. (I also run two Pds, because Gem with Mesa-DRI drivers crashes Pd when closing the gemwin, and often even without closing. By running two Pds I only loose half of my work.) But anyway, I believe all this should be a choice of the user and not be predefined by the package.
