Yeah, I think it respects some command line arguments, which you can pass "if you know what you're doing," but that's not really supported. If there's something you want to change, there's probably something you can set in NSDefaults instead, and if not, ask me and I can probably get it into the next release ;)
If you really want to do this, you can edit the LaunchAgent's launchd.plist and add those as arguments to startx. You'll need to logout and log back in to have these changes take effect.
You shouldn't need to pass a specific display to use (ie :8) because that is chosen for you automatically by startx. There was a bug in 2.7.0 that forced it to use :0, but that is fixed in 2.7.1_rc1. If that's the reason you are trying to do this, just update to the rc.
