SPACE bar, boot options, failsafe mode...
But yeah this can be annoying. That's why I suggest we restart only those apps
we know want to be restarted.
(what if you are running some installer that begins to format a partition ?
you just finished installing, edited your settings, and you shutdown without
closing it... you reboot, and oops, the installer runs again, reformating you
partition =))) That is blatant, but who knows :)
