init 4 problem

[18436572]

startx works fine
init 4 hangs at starting up the X11 session manager...

init 3 on F6 will unhang it

Not sure if this is a BT3 specific issue or if I'm a 'tard.

While looking deeper into my X logs, I noticed that I get different X versions depending on how I start it. How is this possible?

startx log:
