The attached patch seems to make the situation slightly better for (I
also have the same problem as Joey without the patch).
It acheives two things:
o Prevents usplash from trying to exit both on GDM/KDM start *and* stop
o Doesn't attempt usplash_write if usplash isn't running
It would still be nice to also try to add some of the
wait-for-active-console-to-change functionality from the ubuntu usplash
patch Sven mailed to this bug report earlier as I still see a brief text
console between usplash and gdm (essentially the last chunk of that
patch).
