Changing the conditions of a launched process

[David A. Cobb]

  Certain of my startup tasks (specifically the Xorg server and gdm), I 
wish to run with a negative nice value.  I'm trying to get some 
responsiveness out of a system with less core than it probably wants 
(256MiB).

Under the original Sys-V init system, I can parameterize 
start-stop-daemon.  However, in the current Ubuntu version, gdm has been 
converted and the /etc/init.d/gdm is now simply a symlink to 
/usr/lib/upstart-job.  At that point, I'm pretty much lost.

I'm sure the parametrization of jobs is recorded somewhere, but upstart 
doesn't seem to come with much documentation.
