Sorry to interject here, with something that is probably not relevant,
but there's always that possibility that it is. I've recently (after
kernel upgrades) had issues with starting x with nvidia drivers, if
that's what you use this might help. My issue was there was no
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so - that file was only in
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ (notice the "local"). Creating a
softlink to the existing file in the /usr/lib/... directory was my
solution. But I found the warning/error in one of the log files and was
able to track it down; not seeing that message in your logs, so again
it's probably not related.
If the problem is something to do with file ownership after your
backup/restore process, you could run the following:
find $HOME ! -user $USER
It should return nothing, if every file in your home directory is owned
by you.
