How to pass a program and its arguments to startx
By Emma Martinez •
In terminal, I do like this and it works fine:
$startx google-chrome-stable It brings up chrome (just as an example) fine. But lets say I want to do with some arguments:
$startx google-chrome-stable -incognitoIt fails, because it thinks -incognito is an argument for startx rather than chrome.
Whats the solution?

Use the following command
startx google-chrome-stable -incognito --From man startx
The special argument '--' marks the end of client arguments and the
beginning of server options.For others that may wonder, you should be using the full path to Google Chrome instead. If not, google-chrome-stable is passed as an argument to the default client.
To run Chrome as the client:
startx /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable -incognitoor, if you don't know where it is located:
startx `which google-chrome-stable` -incognitoMore in general
