I am sponsoring this case for Niveditha Rau, and have marked it Closed
Approved Automatic as it simply delivers on Solaris the same startx
script that most other X implementations have shipped with for years.
Should anyone wish time to discuss, let me know, and I can convert to
a fast-track.
(Solaris used to provide an equivalent script that was customized for
OpenWindows as /usr/openwin/bin/openwin - when OpenWindows was removed,
so was that script, and we failed to deliver a replacement. This corrects
that oversight.)

4. Technical Description
The startx script is a front end to xinit that provides a
simple command line interface for running a single session
of the X Window System. It is often run with no arguments.
Arguments immediately following the startx command are used
to start a client in the same manner as xinit. To determine
the client to run, startx first looks for a file called .xinitrc
in the user's home directory. If that is not found, it uses
the file xinitrc in the xinit library directory (/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit).
