I remember some ... long and IMO insane thread on the systemd-devel list
about something like this.  The end result of that thread was that
"startx" is apparently not supposed to be used anymore, at least not in
its default configuration, or something.

When the X server fires up on a new VC, nothing in systemd ties that new
VC to the user session or X session or whatever the heck it needs to tie
it to for authorization, and so something related to logging in or
authorization or something, fails.  The suggested workaround on
systemd-devel was "startx -- vt0" or something along those lines, or
using a display manager that talks to logind/systemd/whatever-it-was
directly.

Which is yet another reason I'm not going to use this setup, frankly.

Yeah, this thread:
