> Try closing down network only after gdm has stopped in initscripts

I've already tried adding "# Should-Stop: $network" to /etc/init.d/gdm  
and running insserv, making sure that it had rearranged the symlinks  
as expected, but alas. On my test system, which includes a logout  
script with a 10 second sleep that has so far always managed to  
reproduce the problem, this had no effect. It definitely delays gdm  
shutdown, but hardly delays the total workstation shutdown time, while  
the logout script still does not complete.

On the other hand, today I was thinking that this might have something  
to do with dependency based booting, so I added .legacy-bootordering  
(an empty file) to the /etc/init.d/ directory to disable it. And, it  
worked!

This is one solution to the problem, but if there is no other then I  
see this as another blow to dependency based booting. Of course, it's  
relatively new and not supposed to be perfect yet, but as it stands I  
will soon have few hosts left where it has not been disabled.

Cheers,
