This is the first mention I've heard of any INIT that will cause GateKeeper
1.1.1 problems on startup.  What I'd suggest is doing the following:

1) Go to GateKeeper in the Control Panel.
2) Click on the Info/Settings slide switch to get to the settings section
3) In the "When Attacked:" area, click on the "Notify Only" radio button.
4) Close the Control Panel
5) Put BackDrop back into your System Folder
6) Reboot and see what happens.  There are two possibilities:
   a) BackDrop will install properly and, when you get to the Finder, you'll
      receive warnings of privilege violations caused by BackDrop.  Just
      grant BackDrop whatever privileges are listed and put GateKeeper back
      in "Notify & Veto" mode.  Everything should behave normally from now on.
      Please let me know what privileges it needed, so I can add them to the
      default privilege list.
   b) BackDrop will continue to crash on startup.  If this is the case, there's
      some kind of fundamental incompatibility... let me know about it.

I hope this helps.
