This is unusual, it does not match, my name is 'gerrit' and my homedir 
is /home/gerrit.

When I run startx I see nearly the same output but it continues like this:

winInitClipboard ()
winProcEstablishConnection - winInitClipboard returned.
winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened 
the display.
winClipboardProc - Hello
DetectUnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP
winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the 
display.
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully 
opened the display.
winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting.
winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting.


After that the server is running and accepting connections.  Does X 
actually is running and can you connect, ie. is the xterm opened?
