Hmmnn upstart? man upstart didn't yield anything. [sigh] 

At least the files in /etc/event.d do seam to be fairly straightforward.
To help me find them next time I'm looking for an inittab, I did a:

ln -s /etc/event.d /etc/inittabSTUFF

<grin>

I made the "telinit" changes you suggested. But haven't yet reboot the
laptop. (It's trying to download a live sabayon dvd image at the moment)

If the teleinit settings don't work I'll let you know...

In any case, thanks!
