Login and RunROX execute in parallel. If you want to run Login after the
filer has initialised then you'll need some way to detect that, which
might be a problem, especially if people customise RunROX to do other
things.

It really needs some profiling. Preferably by someone with a slow machine.
Could someone hack up a script to graph the output from
'strace -tttTff -o profile rox-session'? That would be really useful...
