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
