Starting X without Xinit
================================================================================

Most people who don't use a desktop environment use the `startx` command to
initialize their X windowing system. Now, `startx` is a shell script that runs
the C program `xinit` which basically runs `xorg-server`. Using xinit obviously
has some nice perks. It makes some checks and runs your .xinitrc file. We don't
need any of that though. Here is my X launcher:

```sh
#!/bin/sh

export DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0}
trap "$HOME/.xinitrc" USR1

(
    trap '' USR1

    exec X -keeptty :0 vt1
) &

wait
```

You need to keep in mind that your .xinitrc should be an executable.
