So concrete suggestion would be: eliminate your login script (rename
it temporarily) and see if it works. If it does, then start putting
things back one by one until it breaks again.
You can also try putting
set -vx
in your login script and watch the console for what happens during
launch, I believe.

Don't set DISPLAY in your shell login script.

Thanks for the reply, but this doesn't really do anything but break
things worse. :)
This is proof that you have worse stuff in your shell login
script. ;-)
Again, my main issue is that X11 does NOT start when I double-click
the X11.app in the Utilities directory.
When you double-click that X11.app, it runs
/usr/bin/login -fp /usr/bin/X11/xterm
If it doesn't work, the most probable cause is that the scripts
executed by the login command prevent it from running.
