It's two pieces of the same thing.  There's not much point in setting
stdin to /dev/null but leaving the controlling tty the same.  The
point of all the steps (as I see it anyway) is a common end goal of
detaching the new X session that's getting launched from the existing
session running on the tty. Another way you could think of it, is it's
basically doing the same fork()/close/dup2/setsid dance a libc
daemon() call would do but without the final exit-in-parent.
