+          to start manually via the "sx" command from a vt shell. The X server
+          runs under the user's id, not as root. The user must provide a
+          ~/.config/sx/sxrc file containing session startup commands, see
+          sx(1). This is not automatically generated from the desktopManager
+          and windowManager settings. sx doesn't have a way to directly set
+          X server flags, but it can be done by overriding its xorgserver
+          dependency.
