Just a quick update: after looking at .xsession-errors, it turned out that one of my 
shared 
libraries (libglu.so.1.2) wasn't readable to the new user. I changed the owner of that 
library 
to xgrp and allowed every member of the group reading and executing priviledge, and 
now everything's all hunky-doree.

Thanks for telling me where to look!
