That's how I used to see it, But I agree with Lyall E.
With LNO I've got 2 <starters>:
* if I'm in VT I: copy FBargFile LNO.config & go
* if I'm in X  I: copy XargFile LNO.config & go

Automating it to:
  IF Xrunning THEN startXLNO ELSE startFBLNO END
is not good for me, because I typically want to use LNO-FB also when X
is running.
