I checked the plist before trashing it to see if there was anything obviously screwy there and noticed that it still had /bin/tcsh listed as my shell. Hmmmm. So I trash it and start X from the icon and it stalls in the same place. Check the new plist and it lists /bin/tcsh as the shell, not /sw/bin/bash. Interesting, given that the 'Use default login shell for this user' button was selected. Double checked Netinfo to make sure it still had /sw/bin/bash as the login shell and it did (just making sure, despite the fact that my terminal sessions are in bash).
So, I'm going to try setting the shell to /sw/bin/bash in the preferences and see if that sorts it out. I'm wondering if XDarwin calls on /etc/passwd for shells, but that file is only supposed to get called in single user mode. Anyway, if I figure anything out I'll post back.
