    I just went googleing with what you wrote, and didn't come up with
    anything. In other words, nowhere has this ever been suggested (so far
    as google knows).

    I will try it, though. Just so that I won't have to reboot the
    computer three times: will this cause the script to start only on the
    next reboot, or on all reboots? Thanks.
