That did the trick. The DLLs from kde-x-1.3.tar.bz2 extract into /usr/X11R6/bin without execute permission. When I rebuilt X11, they got execute permission but a few others lost it for some reason. I would have gotten there eventually (I was about to try disabling ntsec), but this definitely helped.
