        Can u elaborate on this. I thought that there should be no
difference between 
        a) logging in on a vt  starting X and then logging out of vt 
        b) getting into init 5.

         as far as security is concerned. If you have logged out of vt and
have locked X someone can only kill X server by pressing ctrl+Alt+BS . But
can't get unauthorised access. If it is possible, how??

        Of course, default init 5 is the cleanest way to get into
graphics mode.
