I have set up some thinstations that boot right to X.
Just have a startup script like /etc/rc.local (or whatever you have) just
run "su someuser -c startx".
Then have a ~someuser/.xinitrc file that has:
xterm &
exec your-favorite-window-manager
Then your xterm will start a shell.
For it to call up other stuff, have your xterm run some other script like:
xterm -e ./my-script &
And that ./my-script can end with bash so it can have a prompt when done.
Or just start up your X apps with ampersand & before the exec line above.
