This is O.K. It just starts a new X process it X is not already
runnning,
Yet, it does have its cavets.

Normal for X to scan for fonts

do "ls -al" form the terminal without starting X
if you find files beginning with .serverauth
enter rm -serverauth*

I have not yet figured out which process is sending this
happens when you try to start gnome-session directly from the
terminal.

Normal, if X is not running, launchd launches X

Normal up to here

Not good!
The general question is whether X should be start or involved with
starting X
If it is, DISPLAY should not be set anywhere.
If you put echo $DISPLAY > /users/io/xstartup.log
in .xinitrc you can test if it is set and should be something like
/tmp/launch....
If not lauchd is tryng to handle things

Here you are missing some variables in your .xinitrc
To my knowlege ~/.xinitrc overrides the system wide xinitrc
so you should first copy it and then modify that, so that you
X-environment
is setup correctly.
