Why do we need to restart OS X and not just the X system?

Restart Notice Because we've changed the way launchd starts the server, you will need to restart your machine after installation. Hmm. I recall an Apple doc that showed the launchd process tree is different in 10.5 vs 10.4. In 10.4 there is one lauchd, in 10.5 there is a launchd per user login (on console). So surely at worst one would have to log out and back in again, causing the per user launchd to be recreated? At best one would hope there is a way to make launchd reload its config files (kill -HUP ?). DF
