[arch-general] X logs me out from tty on close

I think you just proved my hypothesis wrong :)
If I understand correctly, your environment is a single terminal + a clock?
if so, then exiting the terminal should bring you back to the console.

Other questions that could help investigate:
- How do you start the startx command?
- Do you have maybe an .xinitrc in your home?
- startx is normally just a wrapper around xinit, could you maybe look
  at your process list and see what arguments are given to xinit? That
  could help investigate.
  xinit itself takes arguments of the form
    xinit [client] -- [server]
  where server is the part to start the X11 server and client is the
  script to run as user. This is the part that determines what is
  started (not /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, which is normally given by startx
  as a fallback)
