Re: xfs starup failues

hello ,
I wanted to know what is the use of putting & sign  after startx 'cause as
much as i can see in my system ther is know use of putting a & sign
becuse the startx starts as normal startx starts.
As far as I know & symbol is used to put the job in background but that
doesnt hapen so in case of startx atleast not in my system intead it
assigns a job number to it and when exited from the X mode it says that
the particular job was done.

I even wanted to know that being a superuser can we enter the X mode as
any other user (I am not asking using xdm but using startx cammand).
thank you
