It tries to start several times, but is never able to. I can't find any reasons for this in the messages or XFree86.0.log files. kdm.log has this listed at the end:

Yes. Running startx works just fine. It seems like it is somehow display manager specific. It seems like some kind of default configuration setting was changed.

If you edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf to change the greeter type, gdm will run. See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=208457
I know I had the gdm problem and was able to run xdm just fine. It isn't an X issue which is why you weren't getting the 'X is dying, want to reconfigure' screen, it's in a library that gdm is using.
I don't know about kdm. You could search the kdm bug reports.
