Oh, I hope you can explain what it does, I feel too dense just now to figure it out.

When X is started, /etc/.XLOADED is created, so if X wasn't exited properly (like the classic "fsckme" flag: on a proper shutdown it will be deleted ; if it's not deleted you know the system has crashed).
If the periodic saving is used (or if the user manually saves with snapmergepuppy), then the saving happens while X is running, thus .XLOADED is also saved to the save file (mounted on /initrd/pup_ro1), so you need to delete it or X won't automatically start on next boot.
The same happens if you backup your save file.

Another simple way to get around this is to just add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
Code:
rm  /etc/.XLOADED

Thanks I understand it better now. One need to know what causes saves to happen to be able to jump in and somehow cheat the system to not do something one don't want it to without having to rebuilt the whole thing from scratch. a workaround a kind of soft patch by knowing what it looks for one can step in and prevent things.

Very good thanks.

Note that if you back up your pup_save while running, you'll also want to first run "sync" in a terminal, to make sure all files are actually written to it.
