I still use ttys like Polytropon, but I believe recommended practice is
to use an rc.d system - just nobody has/could be bothered actually
writing one :D
Maybe I'll (or someone else) get a round tuit one day, but I wouldn't
hold your breath: it's been on the books for near a decade :)

Actually, I came across a script written by someone for the CDE desktop.
It would be easy to modify it for another X11 DM (I would think).
Might be helpful to someone looking for a script of that type.
