Probably a better solution, if you know that X is supposed to come up
but isn't, is to automatically log him in as some new ID whose shell is
a script something like the rescue console script. The first thing it
does is su him to prompt for the root password, and then presents a
character-based dialog explaining his options, offering to run XFdrake,
maybe running rpm/urpmi to see if all needed packages are installed, and
giving him to option to exit to a real shell if he wants.
