Try killing gdm, then starting the x-server with startx from the
console. That might point you in the right direction in what is
screwing up.

Also, make sure you are not starting anything in .Xresources that is
exiting, the server will shutdown when when it (meaning the anything)
does. (don't know why)

Hope this helps
