I think anything after the "exec" is just so much comments.

The lock file should be removed automatically when X exits.  You
probably want this (warning -- untested!) at the end of .bashrc:

if [ \! -f /tmp/.X0-lock ]; then
        xinit
fi

Or maybe without the \! at the end of .bash_login.  I'm not sure what
order the various pieces are read.  Throw in some echoes and verify it.
