Urf. I was stuck thinking globally, not locally:
Xsession: X session started for [user] at Sun Oct 30 02:35:33 EST 2005
ls: /etc/X11/Xsession.d: Permission denied
Thanks so much for showing me the nose in front of my face! The directory had
700 permissions for some reason. I can't believe I missed this for six
hours.
OK, that solved it. Wonderful. Thanks again!
