Nope, calling just xinit will not help much. Perhaps calling `startx'
with a proper wrapper script, something like:
% cat /etc/Xinit.local
#!/bin/sh
echo startx -- -bpp 16 | su - charon
and then you can use in your inittab
x:5:respawn:/etc/Xinit.local
The user `charon' is just a plain account that you want your application
to run under.
