Instead of a blind "startx", you may find it handy to make your
.bash_profile a little smarter... i.e., here's what I use (on Arch):
if [[ "$DISPLAY" = "" ]] && [[ "$(tty)" =
"/dev/tty1" ]]; then
startx &> .xsession-log
logout
fi
This way, you can log into another virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2 for
example) and do some debugging in the background. Or it's handy if
you don't feel like firing up X at all.

Sounds good to me. I'll give it a try :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
