Ben Pence 87e3ce54e4 Updates cdm's call to startx to be compatible with Xorg 1.16.
In the Xorg 1.16 notes at:

  https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-server-116-is-now-available/

it mentions that X "must be launched from the same virtual terminal as was used
to log in"; therefore, cdm now launches, by default, on the same VT.

"...redirecting stderr also breaks rootless login"; therefore, cdm no longer
saves stderr. All the Xorg output should be available in is already available in
logs:

Invocation

To run cdm, use

$ cdm [RCFILE]

cdm tries to source configuration files in this order, and uses the first existing one:

[RCFILE specified on command line]
$HOME/.cdmrc
/etc/cdmrc

To autostart cdm when you log in your account, copy the content of /usr/share/doc/cdm/profile.sh to the tail of your shell profile (~/.profile, etc.).

Customisation

See /etc/cdmrc for examples.
