X Problems

Bit of an odd one this. I can start x up fine, thing is, when i start gdm and try and login to any sort of environment. I am getting an error - unable to connect x is already running. i can startxfce4 (from outside x) fine though??
Any takers?
Thanks in advance.

post your logs when startx works, and instances when it does not ..
also check your /var/log/message and post any entries that might be relevant ..
