The point of all the steps (as I see it anyway) is a common end goal of detaching the new X session that's getting launched from the existing session running on the tty. Another way you could think of it, is it's basically doing the same fork()/close/dup2/setsid dance a libc daemon() call would do but without the final exit-in-parent.
