I copied the /etc/screen.d/startx file and made a xauto script. After it configured X, it ran su to switch users, made the /tmp directory writable (1777) and then ran the real /usr/X11R6/bin/startx. I had to install su executable first. I had created an additional user account in /etc/passwd. My home directory for this dedicated user was a symlink to a directory under /tmp. The directory hiearchy for the user was copied into place. An ~/.xinitrc file started icewm. All software running on thin client. No login needed. I am having problems with firefox (with and without gtk2), but mozilla is working. I used pkgsrc (http://www.pkgsrc.org/) to install extra software (like su from coreutils, icewm, mozilla, et cetera). Jeremy C.
