I am running rhgb in /etc/gdm/Init/Default before gdm-chooser is run. This gives me two niceties, 1 x-server, as soon as I kill rhgb-client gdm-chooser launches. 2) I am achieving parallel boot by allowing NMD start services as necessary. There is no reason starting a bunch of network dependent services on boot if we don't have link, or wireless because we haven't logged in yet and started nm-applet. As far as the services you call "server" services, well those are just what I run, and I use all of them on my desktop on my home network. I use autofs for my file-services and icsi to connect ot my NAS for backups. This technology will slowly start making to more and more peoples desktops, it is just senseless to start it if you don't have a network connection. 3) I am re-ordering system services that ignore "server services" until after we get to a desktop login. We need dbus, hal, network, selinux, ndc before we are ready to login in most circumstances. Do that get a login prompt, then start everything after we are logged in. There is no reason that cups should start before a login prompt. As always just my way, not necessarily the right way.
