There doesn't appear to be anything there which could cause a problem,
but me being me I'd try without the fluff.
Jessie working is not a good comparison because it doesn't run X for a
user without X having root privileges. DMs working are likewise not a
good guide to a solution because they often interact gracefully with
logind.
How about the logs? They should be in ~/.local/share/xorg. Are they?
Do they help?
