I almost always run X11... so I want it to startup when I login.
Without a DM, this is how I handle it.
In your .zlogin or .bash_login or <insert your favourite shell> add the
following lines:
if [ `tty` = /dev/tty1 ]; then
startx; clear; logout
fi
When I login, X11 is started. When I exit X11 (I use
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace), I am logged out. Just like a "real" DM.
However, if I don't want to start X11 for some reason, just hit Alt-F2
and login. Since you are not on tty1, you will just go to the console.
Cheers,
Sean
