    Barry, look at the example below, it starts xfbb for the example, put
    something like this into that rc.xxx file:

    #!/bin/sh
    #
    /bin/su -c "/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit /root/.xinitrc --" - &

    The .xinitrc contains the actual program(s) to start:

    fbb
    icewm

    You can choose any user not only root of course, see manual for command
    su.
