Thanks,  And your right, that's excatly what I
meant.

So, before I run X would this command be okay?

       startx 1> x-server-output 2>&1 &;exit
  
As opposed to the following command, then exiting
back to the shell to exit from - that shell?

       startx 1> x-server-output 2>&1 &
       exit

   Didn't read this carefully the first time around....
   
   Ctrl-Alt-Backspace WILL get you back to the command line prompt, but
   probably not in the way in which you expect....it kills the X server!
   
   Try Ctrl-Alt-F<n>.
   
   (I figure you probably knew this and accidentally mistyped it, but I
   thought it would be good to set the record straight for the benefit of
   those with less experience.)
