	The idea of starting the display manager out of /etc/ttys.
(The recommended way, if I remember correctly, is to put in
rc.local.)
	I have seen a persuasive case made (but can neither quote or
reconstruct it ex tempore) that the /etc/ttys method is both
philospohically wrong and likely to bring greater grief if something
snafus.
