*** Off topic ***
I have tried doing something similar(but with a different approach), 
I have tried moving the gdm to launch as the first thing in the
background(moved it to be the first init.d script), since my desktop
enviroment have no obvious dependencies on the rest of the system
services, I figured it would be nice if the desktop was available
instantly after the kernel has bootet.

This doesnt work at all since the keyboard then will be broken(not able to
type anything). I havent been able to figure out why, is this the same
that happens with your 'su startx'?
If it is and you find a solution please post it.
