How to append commands to startx from console

# MWE
```sh
startx && xrandr-invert-colors
```
# Problem
It seems that anything after `startx` does not get issued in the
resulting Xsession. I'd like to make a bash function that sets up my
monitors based on which office I'm working out of. Assuming the
`*-display` commands are `xrandr` commands, that can be substituted with
`xrandr-invert-colors`:
```sh
office-one()
{
    startx
    office-one-display
}

office-two()
{
    startx
    office-two-display
}
```
Both of these are accessible from the console on startup, and both
successfully `startx`, but everything after that has no effect.

# Tried
Spinning until in an X session:
```sh
in_xsession()
{
    xhost &> /dev/null

    return !$?
}

office-one()
{
    startx
    until [ in_xsession ]; do done
    office-one-display
}

office-two()
{
    startx
    until [ in_xsession ]; do done
    office-two-display
}

but it has the same behavior.

# Question
How do I "append" commands to `startx` such that they issue in the
resulting Xsession? For convenience, I'd like to be able to do this from
a bash function as shown.

# Notes
I used `xrandr-invert-colors` for a visual effect, but you can replace
that with any application launch like `emacs`, `firefox`, etc..

I am using `zsh`.
