Tried this and more (as suggested) by cleaning the /tmp directory 
completely, as well as /var/temp, but to no avail! It the problem is not 
caused by a lock file, what else could it be?

HI,

If the power dropped out, you probably still have a lock file on X right
now.  Do an 'ls -l /tmp' and see if there's a .X0-lock file - if so delete
it and try to start up X.
