I had that problem. Woody X upgrade is little buggy.
/usr/X11R6/bin/X should be a Debian wrapper (xserver-common):
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 6764 gru 25 06:39 /usr/X11R6/bin/X
/etc/X11/X should point to you real Xserver:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 lut 9 11:08 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/X11/XF86_S3
(I use S3/3.3.6 from woody, use xserver-xfree86 for real 4.0.2 xserver)
