That's what I have:

  $ ls -l /etc/X11/X
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Dec 26 09:35 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/X11/XFree86

and have you tried

  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common

(I ask after having looked at the Xwrapper.config manpage).

Mine says:

  allowed_users=rootonly
  nice_value=-10

Also, have you got anything strange in your .xinitrc or .xsession?  I
know it's a long shot, but it might be worth checking.
