Erwan suggested startx with the option to run X on the tty from which
X is started, as a (partial, not complete) solution to my problem. His
suggestion was useful and did indeed solve part of my 'problem'.

I don't think his reply to your post was a direct response to your
post - he was just adding something to the discussion that might help
me, and it did. Your post was not direct answer to my problem, but
still useful and I now make use of that information, so thanks Tom,
thanks Erwan.

Cheers,
Zenaan
