In the interest of education, here's what I had to do: First, I followed Clay's advice and tried executing Xstartup directly. The script reported that it couldn't exec sessreg. There is no sessreg Debian package so I had to figure out what package contained that program. I found it by doing 'apt-cache search sessreg' which listed the xutils and xdm packages. I did an 'apt-get install xutils' and that did the trick.
