That seems a bit odd but if it works, good. The typical set up would be
to use inittab to set the default run level to 5 and have a line in the
file that would do the startx for runlevel 5.
inittab is not the proper place for starting up an X windows program. In
a typical X Windows system you would create a file called ~/.xinitrc and
put the commands you need to start your application in that file. The
commands should have "&" at the end or only the first command
will be run.
