What is the easiest way to set this up? I'd like to do something similar
here since I find that gnome eats memory and I only use a couple gtk
apps regularly. I'm guessing I'd have to put some script in .xinitrc or
something like that. If it matters I'm planning to build a custom Linux
distro here shortly and would like to get the most minimal GUI possible
which is still   accessible since I prefer the text mode  when I can
use it. Currently using Arch Linux but what I'm looking for shouldn't
be distro specific.
