You will need to put some logic around the invocation to check `tty` so you don't go starting X whenever a new shell starts. Eg. You may wish only to run startx if your tty is /dev/tty1 (or whatever runlevel 3 delivers you to). See the "Invocation" section of the bash manpage for details of the dotfile execution order. > saves me the effort, seeing as I walk out of the room for a moment, and > my little boy is slapping my keyboard with the hopes of it making a > noise!
