The above probably has nothing to do with the XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 problem.

It looks like the kind of log one gets when one hasn't given the X
server any clients to run.

There are multiple reports of the X server working if you stop it,
delete your $HOME/.Xauthority file, and run "startx".  If startx still
fails you are likely experiencing some other problem.  For example, a
$HOME/.xsession file with nothing in it but echo commands will generate
a server log that looks much like the one you pasted.  The X server
starts, makes its usual noise (there were no fatal errors in the above),
finds itself without a client to run, and gracefully exits.

That message "waiting for X server to shut down" is what tells you that
the X server is exiting normally.
