Are you starting X fro the command line?  This is the only way I have ever
found to track what is happening.  You can do a alt-F1 as X is coming up and
see what the server is spitting out.  There are also hidden files in your
home directory that may contain some insight.

As a gerneral rule filling up either /tmp or /home partitions will cause
weird things to happen.  What does df -h tell you?
