Greetings from San Francisco Bay!
Thanks for looking at this; it turned out that the problem was that I
was running Leopard's X11. My system.log had lots of this:
Jun 18 09:52:43 mymachine System Events[32983]: Unable to find class:
X11Application, exiting
Jun 18 09:52:43 mymachine com.apple.launchd[108]
([0x0-0x3a33a3].com.apple.systemevents[32983]): Exited with exit code: 1
Once I quit X11, things started working again. That's a bug
somewhere -- running a buggy app shouldn't be able to keep System Events
from running -- but I can't figure out where well enough to report it.
