Then be amazed? I have run startx and changed runlevels countless times on a number of various systems and I have never seen startx changing the runlevel (and especially not when run as a regular user, like it usually should be). startx does not change the runlevel on Fedora 10. I would be amazed if it does on Fedora 8. Manually starting or stopping X (or any other service) will never change the runlevel, because runlevels control services, not the other way around. By the way runlevels do not startx (unless you hacked your system configuration). They start X through a more flexible login manager instead (gdm, xdm, prefdm, etc.) Runlevels are currently becoming less and less relevant because of Linux upstart (resp. MacOS launchd, Solaris SMF, etc.) I was first afraid that this discussion would be off-topic, but actually not so much: NM must be started somehow.
