$@ is a bash positional parameter not an X-specific variable.

I tried to look for its source some time ago and gave up quickly. I'm
not running GNOME so this is from memory: the parent process of "exec
/usr/bin/X ..." calls a variable of the form "/org/gnome/<something>".
I thought that it might be a gconf key that might hold the VT but I
didn't find it.
