If memory serves, most of the file system isn't mounted in single-user mode. You can use this to mount everything once you've gotten to a command line:

mount -a

Once you've done that, you can go to your regular user's home directory:

cd /home/$USER

and examine the hidden file .xsession-errors to see if X even started, and why it crashed. Just remember, you'll be running as root, so be very, very careful about deleting files. (My preference when I have to do things like this is to rename them instead of deleting them, although it's easy to forget to clean up later. Still, it's better than nuking something that you really, really needed.)
