No. Startx uses xinit and xinit tries to connect to the xserver in the way
a client would do and repeats it until the server is ready.

XWin does not "return" or anything like that. It's the way the process start
works. You can either start a program and wait until it finished or continue
right after the program started running. There are no simple mechanisms to
send notice about finished startup.
