This really wasn't a dumb idea at all. The thing is that the startx script
is somewhat flawed, it always tries to start on the first console. But you
could call Xinit, and have a little function that checks for the first
display, the second, etc, until it finds one that hasn't been taken yet,
and then fires up X.
