Hey Isaac,

So, I'm looking at startx here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xinit/tree/startx.cpp

Where's the offending block of code? Is it lines 191-200?

Looking at the commit history (
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xinit/log/), it doesn't look like
startx sees many changes these days. It should be easy to keep a separate
startx script around, if you don't want it starting X on your current tty.
