Tom,

It sounds like something I've seen before.  You should:

  1) Create your own startup script such as /etc/rc3.d/S11foo
     (with appropriate start and stop cases based upon the value
     of "$1");
  2) In /etc/rc3.d/S11foo you should have something like:
        /bin/su - foo -c /home/foo/startup &
  3) In /home/foo/startup you would need to run /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
     in the background and do whatever else you deem necessary to get
     your X application(s) up and running.

Good luck!
Joel
