You would probably have more luck if you set your run-level down to 3
to inhibit kdm/xdm. Then you should be able to just "su" to whomever
at the end of rc.local and "startx" . . . . or, perhaps better, set up
a "startuser" script that is SUID to the desired user and have *that*
do a startx.
This is theory, of course. I've never done such a thing myself.
