    | do session=${xs[$i]} ; session=${session#".X"}

    | echo "exec /usr/bin/startx -- :$i"
    | exec /usr/bin/startx -- :$i
    | }
    | done

    It fails syntacticly if NO X-session is running at all, and
    it also fails here for me if session 0 is running, with:

            exec /usr/bin/startx -- :1

            Fatal server error:
            Server is already active for display 0
                    If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
                   and start again.

    I get the same error if I just type 'startx -- :5'.
