Did you try this command to create your new user.
Code:useradd -m username

Strange, it worked on my Slackware install.
I logged in as root, did "useradd -m wizard3"
did "passwd wizard3"
exited root, logged on as wizard3, did "startx".
I don't understand why that wouldn't work on your machine.How to know if you are a geek.
