Hey Jonathan, Chris has the right idea--maybe PAM is your problem. I just had a similar problem with X not reading my .xsession file. I did a 'make reinstall' for XFree86 and made sure to say "NO" to the question about PAM support (the last question, I think). This solved my problem and I think it'll take care of your problem also.
