I have had similar problems and (for me) they usually come down to;
1) A bad or missing configuration file.
2) Screwed up permissions.
3) A user selected "X" server that isn't functioning properly for some reason.
Other times I will make a new (dummy) user and chmod and chown and do a cp -af
copying the configuration files over.
Sometimes (if things are really messed up) I will just re-initialize the
user. I.E delete then re-add the user.
Hope this gives a start.
