I remember having a similar problem (not with a Debian packaged X, but with a home-compiled one), and tracing it to the GiveConsole and TakeConsole scripts somewhere under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. Basically the scripts were broken by a subtle change in semantics in GNU fileutils (having to do with chmod or chown following symlinks). -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.
