Edit tty1 line in /etc/inittab:
--------------------------------
tty1::respawn:-/bin/sh -c startx
--------------------------------
If "respawn" doesn't do what you
want, try "once".

Those are the actions that are performed
following CTRLALTDEL. Swap is turned off
and partitions are unmounted.

Note the /sbin/reboot on the ctrlaltdel
line. That reboots the system. If you
prefer that the system shutdown without
rebooting, change reboot to halt.

For more information on configuring
/etc/inittab, do: man init

Cheers,
Steven
