Thanks everyone for the recent testing.  In comparing everyone's logs
the following observations can be drawn:

1.  The assertions made in comment #11 are incorrect.  We are not seeing
EAGAIN (error code 11) but apparently EACCES (error code 13).

2.  The patch I prepared is suited for handling EAGAIN.  The reason it
works for EACCES as well is simply because it's throwing some sleep in
there.

We already know from comment #5 that tossing in some sleep before X
starts works around the problem, so that isn't surprising.  Still, this
patch is probably a better workaround since it only comes into play when
the bug has actually happened; on non-bugged boots you'll get a faster
non-sleepy startup.  For this reason, I'll proceed with polishing up the
patch and add it to the archive.
