That is correct behavior. Check the startx and xinit man pages.
Both the client program name and the server program name must begin
with a slash (/) or a period (.). Otherwise, they are treated as an
arguments to be appended to their respective startup lines. This makes
it possible to add arguments (for example, foreground and background
colors) without having to retype the whole command line.
Hope that helps,
