This is probably a question for the XFree86 folks, but I want to make
sure they're not gonna say it's the OS first.  

I'm running 4.0Release and I'm trying to get it to boot up, become a
certain user and launch XWindows and Netscape.  If Netscape dies it'll
reload.  I have the netscape thing working fine.  The rest is being 
done in rc.local and the user's .xinitrc.

At the very end of rc.local I have:

nohup su - luser &

Luser's shell is tcsh and at the end of .cshrc I call startx and
at the end of luser's .xinitrc I call a script that's just an 
endless while(1) that keeps netscape going without session management.

If I just log in as luser everything starts fine.  When I do it from 
bootup it loads in fine but the mouse is dead.  Looking at nohup.out
tells me:

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
	If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
	and start again.

Well /tmp/.X0-lock wasn't there before I rebooted so something's 
trying to happen twice.  Is rc.local not the place to do this?
Is this something that should go to the XFree86 folks?  Does anyone
have any ideas?

Vince.
