Actually, can failsafe-x be set up to never run unless starting-dm has been emitted? I see a initctl emit starting-dm DM=kdm and a similar line in gdm.conf. I don't know how upstart works, but presumably one can configure it to only consider running if starting-dm has occurred. That seems like a more reasonable fix to failsafe X's propensity to start unwanted and hang machines.
-- Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used.
