I did what you suggested and I still got the same error when trying to 
do a 'startx' under a different user otherthan root.

I did  a 'ls -l' on wrapper to see what it came up with for permissions 
and whis is what I got:

  sickness# ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper
  -rwsr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  7602 Sep  4 20:52 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper

thx,
Dave
