to answer your questions, Justin,

when I was testing if a normal user could start XFree86 I just typed 'XFree86' at the command prompt. It is not setuid root, so it gave me the errors. I just tried issuing 'X' as 'leszek' and 'blah' and both can do it.
To answer your question, Alben,
1) removing .Xauthority didn't change anything
2) here are last lines of XFree86.0.log for both successful run ( with gdm installed ) and unsuccessful one:
a) successful:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log$ cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | tail -n 20 (**) LIRC-Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 (**) LIRC-Mouse: Buttons: 5 (**) Option "BaudRate" "1200" (**) LIRC-Mouse: BaudRate: 1200 (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "LIRC-Mouse" (type: MOUSE) (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Generic Mouse" (type: MOUSE) (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE) (II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded (II) Generic Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded Warning: font renderer for ".pcf" already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for ".pcf.Z" already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for ".pcf.gz" already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for ".snf" already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for ".snf.Z" already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for ".snf.gz" already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for ".bdf" already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for ".bdf.Z" already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for ".bdf.gz" already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for ".pmf" already registered at priority 0 Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
b) unsucessful:
