  That seems to function by running the X server directly rather than running xinit.  Anyone know what I'll miss out on by skipping xinit?  (Other than the problem I have with needing to force the xinit process to stick around?)  I will seem to lose the ability to run custom stuff in my .xinitrc file, but I think I'd be customizing startxwin.bat/.sh anyway so that wouldn't be an issue I suppose.

  You get the same thing with startx.
