I'm not sure, but putting the graphical login shell inside inittab used to
be the simplest method of making sure the process got restarted upon exit
from a users X session.  I've not read any arguments against doing this,
but it wouldn't suprise me if using the init.d scripts became more in
vogue.  Then again, I don't use graphical logins (just good ol' startx
after logging in from the console) so I'm not up to date on this issue.
