I gave a talk at the ADUS meeting on "UNIX Dot Files" and covered this
topic, since that is the way we run all our Apollo's. You can do a
"startx" from the startup_login.blah file instead of starting an xterm,
or any other specific X clients. I can send the text of my talk to
anyone who sends me e-mail, or I'll post it if I get enough requests.
The file is pretty long since it includes copies of the
.cshrc/.login/.profile files we use, along with all the X configuration
files (.uwmrc/.mwmrc/.xinitrc/.xserverrc/.Xresources/.xmodmaprc) that
cover most of the common node types that can run X reasonably
(DN2500, DN4500, DN10000).
