I have just spotted this message on the Xorg.0.log file you made public:

[   431.261] (EE) dbus-core: error connecting to system bus:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer (Failed to connect to socket f:
Connection refused)


My gut feeling is that you have a stale file at
/Data/Variable/run/dbus/system_bus_socket. My suggestion to you is:

1. log in as root
2. type 'StopTask MessageBus', and ignore any error messages
3. remove /Data/Variable/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
4. type 'StartTask MessageBus'
5. log in with your regular user on another terminal
6. type 'startx' on that new terminal

Out of curiosity, does your regular user have super-user (sudo) privileges?
That's one of the checkboxes that the installer tool gives to you when you
add new users. The "groups" command should include "sys" in its output if
your user does have sudo privileges.

Thanks!
Lucas
