If I start as the same user - no problem (however this is of limited
use). The log file is the correct one. (It even tells me on stderr
when I start X).
Basically something in gnome-session doesn;t work. My best guess is
that gnome-session is trying to do something with the display :0. This
will work fine for the same user as the xauth file will be fine, but if
it's a different user - no luck.
I had the same problem before, and I assumed it was something screwed in
my xfree setup (I'd had other strange problems with X previously), so I
reinstalled debian, and am now getting the same problem. So either I've
recreated the same weirdness, or its a weird pacakge problem.
