I think there's some issues with doing it this way. I don't remember if
the Wiki section on running Freevo automatically from startup linked to
the original article on starting up applications automatically in X, but
it has something to do with UID/GID. 

Also SDL might not like the fact that it cannot create additional windows
in X (without a WM) and mplayer won't run (might work if display=xv)?
I haven't tried messing with this since the 1.3.1 release, so
changes to the freevo display code might have resolved some of these
issues.

I'm using blackbox WM if I run in X, but nowadays I just use framebuffer
mode.
