          Whether to enable the dummy "startx" pseudo-display manager,
          which allows users to start X manually via the "startx" command
          from a vt shell. The X server runs under the user's id, not as root.
          The user must provide a ~/.xinitrc file containing session startup
          commands, see startx(1). This is not automatically generated
          from the desktopManager and windowManager settings.
