My guess is that the problem is simply the .app bundle not being recognized by the OS as an application, and thus shows up as a folder. Have you tried starting x from the terminal:
startx -- -rootless ? (This should work I suppose -- but I'm not sure). If I'm correct, you need to get the .app folder recognized as an application, and my guess it's just a privileges problem: chown -R username:staff the .app folder, and then chmod -R 777 the whole thing. If that doesn't work, I vaguely remember more things on how to get an .app bundle recognized, but I'm certain others on this list know it better.
