Well, that would be unfortunate. It might occur if the user typo's
the line in the windows file.

I'd recommend something along the lines of:
 ssh <machine> rm -f ~/.byobu/windows

That does of course require ssh access.

Actually, this should already be fixed the current 2.79 release.

This now puts the following in ~/.profile:
`echo $- | grep -qs i` && byobu-launcher && exit 0

That "&& exit 0" should only exit if the byobu command succeeded. If
it exited non-zero, I think it should drop you to a command prompt.
Can you give that a shot?
