'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ran fine, but accomplished only reducing my resolution to 800x600. The xorg.conf file was nice and clean however, and I just put the modelines in that one. I still have to start Xorg manually with 'gdm'.
Looking at the reboot more carefully, however, I have a more accurate idea of the problem. Xorg is not failing at all. I was looking at output from grub as it ran the splash screen stuff, and thinking it was error messages. There's no evidence that Xorg even tries to run on startup. However, the default runlevel is 2, which differs only slightly from 5 (2 has K01fetchmail instead of S99). Both have S10xserver-xorg-init-wacom as the only obvious reference to xorg. Shouldn't 'gdm' appear somehow in the runlevels? As for locales, I agree that most if not all of the other symptoms are caused by locales being borked. I'm attaching the typescript from running 'aptitude reinstall locales'.
