What I did to solve this problem was set the thing to not boot in X. Then 
log in and use the command X. This starts X in the vitural terminal 7. 
Then get to terminal 2 (ctrl + alt + F2). Then log in there and type the 
command for the window manager of choice, in my case it's:
wmaker -display :0.0

Are you using RedHat and getting these problems?
