But I also want to have the original login to go away.  I want
something like:

  startx & ; logout

But that didn't work when I tried it.  Maybe I did something wrong.

This is a naive user thing: Login.  Do stuff.  Tell X to logout.  Be
back where s/he started.  If I just do a startx as part of the login,
then the user needs to quit X and remember to logout.  I want to get
rid of that step.
