THANK YOU! It was complaining about not being able to connect to some
socket. I found the socket in /tmp; it looked like an old copy. I
removed all the old X-related stuff from /tmp (e.g. .X11-Unix,
.ICE-Unix, .font-unix, and a few others), and now X Windows will start
correctly.
One note I wanted to add, though....X Windows was dying/starting in a
loop even though I've removed it from /etc/inittab -- just typing "gdm"
all by itself on a root console was enough to start the loop.
