Grumble. I apologize for the noise, I should have been more thorough.
Apparently somewhere in the mists of time, while trying to solve
things myself, I decided to hand-edit the startx script.
And while I did reinstall everything X-related, I apparently did not
reinstall xinit itself. A simple sh -

It appears to be no longer possible to start X as non-root user, regardless
of the x11-common configuration. I don't use this too often, so I can't say
exactly when it broke. I do remember that this worked fine before Squeeze was
released though

Tried, tested, and confirmed:

Thanks! It indeed appears to be the same bug.

Yay, more testing! ;)
This bug should probably be closed now as I'm asking for a (currently)
