 On XO-1 (build 880), 1.5 (b 880) and 1.75 (b 8),

  * Boot to Sugar
  * Switch to VT
  * run: init 3 ; then wait until the runlevel change is complete
  * run: init 5 ; X / prefdm never complete booting. /var/log/olpc-
 dm-X.error.log has messages that seem to hint X is started twice.

 Also tested

  * does not repro stop prefdm; sleep 60 ; start prefdm
  * does repro with GNOME instead of sugar
  * does repro if you edit inittab to boot straight into runlevel 3,
 reboot, then `init 5`

 Not a blocker per se, but the root cause of this may well be causing other
 headaches.
