I asked Branden Robinson (the Debian package maintainer) and I got a nice and quick answer from him : he has taken care of the problem and the fix will be included in either 4.2.1-6 or 4.2.1-7. That said, good thing you tell me that the versioning schemes vary across distributions because I was about to alien the RPM or install the upstream binary package from xfree.org. I guess I'll just have to be patient. Strange thing about my problem is that I just discovered that I could startx as root although a normal user won't work.
