"Normal X startup" - do you mean login, in runlevel 5, or do you mean runlevel 3, and startx?
These are both infinitely configurable, but I think the defaults end up running /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc or /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession any way you do it. So the answer is yes.
So, if I'm in runlevel 5, login should start it, correct?
Except that the more I think about it, the more I'm back to my original problem: if it automagically starts it, why does it not automagically STOP it when I log out, the way it does every other of my processes, except for something I explicitly backgrounded (I mean, I remember when I had to nohup things like that)?
