This is just a guess based on some problems I had with X in linux a long time ago, but if it can't resolve your hostname when you're not connected (ie. it's not in /etc/hosts), X was taking forever to load and popping up tons of errors. That could be it, maybe? Worth a shot if /etc/hosts is empty, sicne you're then using your network DNS to do your own hostname resolution, and it would dissapear without a network connection.
