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.
