Some one suggested just starting X automatically on VT1 [2], without autologin, and with that I no longer need to block the screen at the very beginning, prior to calling the WM/DE on xinitrc, but there's a non graphical interface in the middle.  Sounds good enough to me, as long as at init the system lands on VT1 at 1st, and not any random VT.  Some time back it used to be that the VT finally showed at init was any (random?).  Not sure if there's a way to make sure it's always VT1.  If that can be configured, it's good enough, and there's no need for a DM at all...

Thanks !
