x-init is great!, thanks. I have one problem with it though. My main use for it
is when I want to reboot without inits so my games will work. Usually this means
I have to also boot without multi-finder. Since you chose the option key it
means I try to reboot holding down option & clover. However, this signals the
system to rebuild the desktop. I've tried just holding down the option key and
then later switching to holding down the clover key, but I can't get the timing
right.

So, is there any chance that you could make x-init work with some other key.
I'd be happy with space or shift or tab. Whatever you like.
