Actually, the sh example should be ordered:
	% startx > startx.log 2>&1

Redirection is processed from left to right so processing 2>&1 first
results in stderr being attached to the terminal.

	$ ls 2>&1 /no_such_file > /tmp/foo
	ls: /no_such_file: No such file or directory
	$ ls /no_such_file > /tmp/foo 2>&1
	$
