Maybe I don't understand but at the moment xaloader says -
can't find xaaes060.km press any key to continue.

If a key is pressed it just repeats the above. Would it not
be better for xaloader to call a shell at that point ?
Where do other init clients come into the problem of xaloader
not finding it's km ?

The problem is that it doesn't run for very long before it crashes.
Do you want to know the pid when xaloader is started from sh or when
init starts it directly ?

It even crashed when I did ctrl-alt-L

Does xaloader know where it was started from ?
