Make sure you only run it on 1 tty, otherwise it might try to startx 6 times.
Actually, this might work: My getty has the -l option, which lets it run
a different program in place of login. So in /etc/inittab, all I do is
replace a line like this:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
with a line like this:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -l "/bin/su -l mom" 38400 tty1
