hmmm *not* slow as root suggests permissions - maybe on font
directories? Check out the Xorg log in /var/log.

I used to see the 1 minute startup with previous versions of FreeBSD -
mainly with 'kdm' startup, and running :

(root) # fc-cache -f

would fix it (however in that case root too would be slow, but maybe
worth a try).
