So the X server appears to be running.  There's probably something
wrong with your session.  Though, I've heard that some recent releases
of the NVidia drivers have had problems, so I wouldn't rule that out
entirely.

Have a look in your home directory for a .xsession-errors file.  If
it's there, see what's in it.  If it's not, look in /var/log for any
X-related log files.  Look also in /var/log/messages for any messages
from the drivers or kernel which might indicate a problem.
