I'm against X-based solution. rhgb (Red Hat graphical boot) is very,
very slow. I have to wait x session to start, then it would display
rhgb, then it would shut down, then wait again for x session for gdm.
And also, rhgb kicks in later then bootspash, so basicly it hides about
half the boot messages.
bootspash is good, but maybe don't make it default in grub's menu.list,
so who wants it, it can add one line into menu.list, or maybe make it an
option easily reached trhu gui (in Computer menu - System configuration,
maybe joining it with Login Screen Setup by adding Boot Screen Setup).
