I think 0.5.3 is good. I haven't seen any big changes in that area since 0.5.3...

I've also experienced strange timing problems involving udev. Someone promised
me they were gone, but obviously not. Does it make any difference simply
inserting a "sleep 10" at the beginning of system/alsasound/loadmodules?

Hmmm... After a closer look that particular argument doesn't exist anymore in
0.5.3. Just upgrade and be happy...

Strangeness. Haven't ever seen this one. Sounds like it tried to switch to
another tty or something?

Ok. I guess the best way to do this would be a plugin. All output on the screen
comes from a plugin named cpout (colorprintout). I don't think it would be a
really big deal (for someone custom with rhgb) to make a rhgb output plugin
which instead sends information to rhgb. I guess big question is what would be
showed. Since multiple services/daemons are starting at the same time I guess
rhgb would have to be extended?
