[SOLVED]Run startx after login?

Question

I have a laptop with multiple users.
Is it possible to have a different setup for each user, stored in their /home/ folder? So, when I log in, all I see is the terminal, but when another user, say a guest user, logs in, LXDE starts up.
Right now, I put this in my .xinitrc file (startlxde in guest, xmonad in my own), but is it possible to set start different programs for different users after login? I would prefer start x on my own from my own user, but my brother who frequently use my laptop don't want to type startx each time he logs in.

Answer 1

Assuming you set up the right .xinitrc in each users ~/ this (from the wiki) will startx automatically for each user you decide to bless with the additions to their .bash_profile
.bash_profile wrote:if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
startx
fi
Edit: Here is the article.
