(In reply to comment #10)
> Hrm.  What about the comments from Loic?

I don't think our comments conflict.  Loic was concerned about adding
dependencies, and I was suggesting making them soft rather than hard
dependencies.

The only real concern that I see is Michael's:

> Typically xinit is not run as a root, so the user does not have enough

> I question weather or not we should try to move this call into X?  X is setuid
> root.

I admit that I did not read that comment the first time through as it
was collapsed in my view of the bug.  On darwin, we trigger a
LaunchDaemon in startx to do some privileged actions for xinit (like
creating /tmp/.X11-unix).  How is this currently handled on other OSs?
Still as an init script?
