Now, if you *really* want to see what is going wrong, try:
strace startx 2>&1 | cat > /tmn/X-log
This should show you every open/close/file descriptor etc. that is
accessed as startx fires up. It should also show where descriptors
fail to be accessed and/or files are not found.
After all, you have time, right?
