I ran into this.  Reading /etc/X11/Xsession told me enough to
fix it.

Edit /etc/X11/config and add the following lines:
allow-user-resources
allow-user-modmap
allow-user-xsession

I think this should be concidered a bug.  These lines should
already be present and the sysadmin can remove one or more of
them in very unusual cases where that might be desired.
