Yeah, the XFree logs only show problems with the xserver
(x|g|k)dm logs show probs with the display manager (and X)
xsession-errors logs problems with your session once it's started
Obviously your Xserver was fine since xdm would start ...
and .xsession-errors can grow *quite* large if you have errors you don't
notice! I've had it fill up disks.
glad to be of help!
