I wasn't aware that ldconfig was run at boot. I can only assume you
think it is as you mentioned cold booting.... I can't be bothered
looking to verify this fully but certainly a grep -r ldconfig /etc/rc.*
returned nothing.

If you start hacking about with things then it's much harder to give
support. If you start hacking it's assumed you can poke about and fix
things yourself.

And remember that the x11 module is only part of the whole GL solution.
The shared library (and sometimes a kernel module) make up the other
part(s).
