As of this point in time, I find that if I log in as root in a text console, ignoring the GUI login for the moment, then I can "startx" and it will get me there.

Try creating a ~/.xinitrc for root with "exec starttde" inside (or try starttde's full path). I don't know if the system will pick up your xrandr settings with that setup, though, since that's never been a concern for me (and I use a completely different distro anyway).
