Doing it like that would impose the exact same file names and startup
procedure for everyone, and the impossibility for the users to
autonomously disable their demo. Sopme users also have more than one
service to be run at startup.

There has been some short talks about it in the tech group. A solution
would be to provide a place where avery user can write a startup
script, automatically run when the machine restarts. As usual, we only
need to take some tome to do it, test and document :)
