Try 'nohup startx > /dev/null 2>&1 & exit', and replace /dev/null with a
logfile of your choice. If you omit it, "nohup.out" will be used
instead. Of course, you can keep it as /dev/null , but that might make
debugging more difficult ;)
I'd also like to point out that [G,X,K,W]DM is built for this sort of
thing ...
