It is not the cause of hte problem. X will still work with that error. A better place to look for the problem is .xsession-errors in your home directory, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
One thing to keep in mind - if you have an older laptop, be prepared for it to take a while to start the window manager the first time, especialy if you are running KDE. There is a fair amount of setup that has to be done the first time. There is one other thing that will cause a fairly long delay in starting X. If you specified a hostname for your machine, or you are getting one as part of bringing up you Ethernet connection, and the name can not be looked up, then there is a DNS timeout delay when starting X. This delay is about 90 seconds. The easy fix is to make sure there is an entry in /etc/hosts for your hostname. Something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localnet localhost <your host name> works...
