I had one X server starting, but also crashed X servers (do to
.Xauthority conflicts or something, I didn't write down the message)
in other ttys. Also, if another tty starts the X server, it's not
clear to me that the user will actually end up in X. The user may end
up on tty1 and have to Alt-F7 into X, which is not intuitive ;).
