FWIW, latest xorg-server 1.16.0 here, recently upgraded (as it'd have to 
be, because it only recently came out).  No problems to report, but as I 
said, I do the text login, startx with a kde xsession setting, thing 
here, and don't even have a *dm installed, so if there were issues with 
it and *dm, I'd never know it.

But it does seem to me that your issue is likely related to logind 
console session dynamic permissions.  Obviously those logging into a text 
login session and running startx from there have a login session already 
going when they run startx, with console perms already set for the 
existing login.  That contrasts significantly with the *dm login case, 
where X is already running and at least basic input perms would be 
necessary in ordered to be even to login graphically at all, which seems 
to be your problem.  I just don't know how to fix it since the little *dm 
experience I have is over a decade outdated now, well before systemd's 
logind solution and indeed, before hal and the like as well, so 
literally, generations of solutions have come and gone since then. =:^\
