Looks like it.

I think we should satisfy Isaac's request. I stopped using startx long
ago, but I'd be also annoyed to have it starting on the launched tty,
clearly recalling I did use startx in place of xinit mostly to not have
it polluted.

I also cannot understand the sense of this somewhat insane thing
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xinit/tree/cpprules.in
And would feel much better to know that we maintain such a script, or
even rewrite it.
