I did not look very close but 'BackgroundProgram' in gdm.conf is normally used to draw background and pictures for your login screen so it has to draw on _something_ and that implies that X server is already going. I do not know under which id it executes, though. Dump some info from there to a temporary log and you will have much better grasp on the whole situation. You still, of course, can bring up your background there and what not. Just make this into a shell script which does many things and execute that. Michal
