Don't do that.
Run startx from a console, or configure the system to startup in runlevel 5.

but it's ok to start X in shell

It will work to start "X" but is generally preferred to use the "startx" script or boot in runlevel 5 so the display manager runs, as Gerald suggested. It is also highly recommended to [b]not[/b] run X, startx, or otherwise log into a GUI as root.
