Just a thought, but if you use a resources file, check and see if
"xrdb merge ~/.Xresources", or a reasonable extrapolation of that, is
running when this happens. I never really worried about it because it
was a simple change in the system xinit scripts, but your problem does
sound somewhat similar to the problem I had when xrdb was hanging.
Where X11 would start, but nothing would start in it until xrdb was
killed. Or until one of the xrdbs went zombie and the ones after that
didn't hang for some reason... odd problem, but might just be what
you're running into.
