Strange. Never used LXDE, but KDE and Xfce I never had such a problem
with startx. Anyway, if you're serious about using it, probably
you'll want xdm and likely slim (since you're running something
lightweight). Yeah, I ran "startx" for two years because I'm that
lazy, but anyway, it's a good idea.
From XDM you can get a terminal if you want. This is only at best a
work around (or indication of deeper problems), but you may try it.
Just make sure you edit slim.conf for your login_cmd since for zsh you
get a little wrecked if you don't...
Cheers,
daid
