Xorg's xinitrc is a user script. Or does one of the X server or client thing 
start as root? If so, which script runs? xinitrc didnt work..
"...../kdm -nodaemon": exactly which one (if any) executed as root?

I want to load sound support only when in a desktop environment, and 
auto-disable it when moving back to a console. That is, I need a script that 
loads sound when starting, and unloads when exiting kdm.
