How does environment look like in X then? (Just run 'env'.)
Normal. Here are the relevant bits:
ZSHDIR=/home/testuser/.zsh SHELL=/bin/zsh TERM=xterm LC_ALL=en_US.iso885915 USER=testuser COUNTRY=US LC_MESSAGES=en_US.iso885915 LANG=en_US.iso885915 TZ=US/California LANGUAGE=us DISPLAY=:0.0 CHARSET=iso8859-1 COLORTERM=yes WINDOWID=27263014 XTERM_VERSION=XTerm(210) XTERM_SHELL=/bin/zsh
Does running 'startx 2>~/.xsession-errors' show anything relevant in ~/.xsession-errors?
The X sessions starts via startxfce4. X.org 7.1.1 with XFCE 4.4RC1. The X.org log file just shows missing fonts. The keyboard stanza in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is this:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Option "CoreKeyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection
Which grml-version are you using?
