Well, I've never had a problem with it, but then, I usually select text
for my login -- I hate waiting for X to come up if I don't need it.
However, it's an easy fix, regardless of what the root cause might be.
Add the following line to the end of your /etc/inittab file:

x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

Unless I'm mistaken, that'll fix the whole shebang -- it puts you into
runlevel 5, which is just techno-babble for "GUI login".
