The option to backup and stop is disabled because the way to configure
X is so complex that implementing this feature would mean a complete
rewrite of that code and iirc there was one step that stopped me completely
in doing so due to breaking compatibility with older implementations,
making partial upgrades very very difficult to handle.

You are welcome to submit any bug (Enanchement in this case).
In this specific case i doubt it will be fixed.
