Shouldn't be too difficult to get startx to check for existing lockfiles
(eg /tmp/.X0-lock) and use the next available display number if a lockfile
exists.

I've also found that sometimes the DISPLAY variable doesn't get set
properly in my rxvt's, so I fixed that by adding

export DISPLAY=`who am i|sed 's,\(.*(\)\(.*\)\().*\),\2,'`

to my profile.
