That looks a lot like the issue Rich had last week (which I think is 
unrelated to the one posted today).  Have you tried the solution I 
posted for that?  Here's a copy:

/Library/LaunchAgents/org.xquartz.startx.plist and 
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.xquartz.startx.plist files and reboot, but I 
haven't tried that.
