thanks for your help, didn't even know about that type of 
access-control. however, this did not work for me.

what i did so far:
- checked the permission of the users homedirs/dotfiles (ok)
- added a new (non-root) user with an empty home-directory (no X)
- set Xwrappers access to console-users

any idea what's going wrong?
