Rich:
How are you logging in, text console or graphic login window?
If you are using a graphic login window, you might try logging in
through a text console available via Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2... .
If it is a login problem and not a XWindows problem, you would probably
see it in the text window after logging in.
If nothing shows up logging in, you may have to start XWindows manually
with "startx", then return to the text console (Ctrl-Alt-Fx) to look at
XWindows startup messages.
Someone may know a nice place to view all the XWindows startup messages
