runit without getty logon

[wdef <WDef200@yahoo.co.uk>]

Is it possible to set runit up to not use getty, but instead automatically
switch to another terminal and start X as an ordinary user?

I want to use runit this way on a knoppix-based livecd system, where a login
makes no sense and I don't want the user to have to be therer to manually switch
terminals with ctrl-alt-F5.  I just want it to just boot up into X from go
without user intervention.

I've found I can switch to ordinaryuser and have X start as a service without
the getty and login (run contains eg su -p --command=xinit ordinaryuser), but it
refuses to start with fluxbox icons etc whether I start up using xinit or
startx, as if it's not reading these in HOME. But HOME is explicity set within
run, so this puzzles me.

Also, if you quit X from this, you go to ... nothing!  It's replaced the
terminal.

I'm imagining stty can be used instead of getty to automatically start up a 
new terminal in which to run X ...?
