On Mac OS X the whole of X starts by clicking on some application.

I guess that means stderr gets lost somewhere.

I'll see what happens if I start X by 'startx' from a terminal.

But on a normal workstation, after you type 'startx' you don't see
the original shell anymore. How can you then look at stderr output?
