 Yes, I have noted it down, I'll try that. I don't know if it'll be possible 
to do all readdir()s first - this has to be done while the machine is idle 
and waiting for the user to log in, this all has to be stopped as soon as 
startkde is launched, obviously. I'll check.

 Hmm, but my / is reiser, only /home is ext3 (yeah, those sorry people who 
can't decide). We'll see.
