What is your window manager of choice? Is the window manager of choice listed in the .xsession? Read 'man X' and 'man xdm'. Don't just skim them... read them, even if you can't fully understand everything in there. There is a lot of help regarding invoking X in various ways. Look in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors for troubleshooting info.
