I just talked to Colin, and it turns out there are valid reasons not to
do this. We both think the performance win would likely be quite small,
given the work Tollef is doing on optimizing the Live CD. There's also
the accessibility issue with just launching a fake window manager and
starting Ubiquity; we'd have to run a customized gnome-session to retain
the accessibility features, which would defeat much of any potential
performance gain.

I might toss this together as a proof of concept, but it's not a
particularly promising approach, so I wouldn't expect to see it in Edgy.
