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!
