Maybe you should think for a second about your answers, if you're going to get snippy. The reason for "loging into X" as root is that it won't run otherwise, since X is no longer "SUID root" and he wanted to not use the Xwrapper. Get it now? Even more sorry now too, I hope. I doubt if he gained anything by avoiding Xwrapper, but it's usually a good instinct to reduce the number of variables like that. As for the orignal question, it looks nasty. Some kind of library problem. Like something didn't get built or installed correctly. Rebuild/reinstall the X software?
