What are the permissions on your X program?

	guin:jafo$ which X
	/usr/X11R6/bin/X
	guin:jafo$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X
	lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            8 Jun 27 22:51 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> Xwrapper*
	guin:jafo$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper 
	-rws--x--x    1 root     root         6260 Mar  6  2000 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper*
	guin:jafo$ 

Notice that Xwrapper is mode 4755, owned by root.  I'd guess that yours is not.
