[PD] respawn PD with gui in Debian

[B. Bogart]

Hey Bart,

When the script running in xsession exits, it will restart X, so if you 
have autologin, and PD crashing does cause an exit, then it will restart 
automatically when it crashes. Note I don't find PD doing that on linux 
very often...

Also if PD stalls without exiting you can get the gallery staff to just 
"control-alt-backspace" to restart the patch without restarting the 
computer.
