Subject:   startx not working for new user

hi,

after having startx work for root I added a user using adduser. Only to find
that startx no longer works for the user (user is using the bash shell). I
checked the following:

  path in both /.profile and /root/.profile was set to
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usrX11R6/bin

When startx is entered for user it says command not found. Confirmed that
startx (and xinit) exists in /usr/X11R6/bin with r/x permissions for all three
octal groups.

Any thoughts?
