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? -- Brian.
