I have to guess the ubuntu-users and/or xorg lists would probably be better
places to ask about the above, since this is a group about Intel drivers and
closely related matters.

Another ubuntu question, but I think the answer may be upstart's changed
meaning of /etc/init.d.

Try starting top on one console before doing startx, then doing another top
in an xterm, and comparing their output, and looking for some missing or
runaway X process that may depend on something that doesn't get started if
GKXdm aren't running.
