wouldn't need fixing, as nothing would be broken:
if the graphical runlevel is used as the default then runlevel 5 
automatically becomes equal to runlevel 3 when no display manager is 
installed, no need to mess with inittab at all.

(actually the distinction between 'multi-user without network'  and 
'multi-user with network' is more interesting to me: booting a laptop 
without netwerk easily saves whatever the netwerktimeout is on bootup when 
your somewhere without working network, which by default is a minute I 
think)
