why would it need a timeout to die? apparently, if someone put that into 
his cluster config it should be running wether xend comes up or not, 
maybe throw a warning. what if xend doesn't come up for a reason but a 
manual fix corrected that and then comes up but after fence_xvmds 
timeout. you'd have to either manually start fence_xvmd or restart cman, 
wouldn't you?
i think if it's configured it should just start. it would be smart to 
have it warn about missing xend every so minutes or sthg like that, 
though :)

p.s.: i'll do the rc.local thing, thanks
