This isn't a Qubes specific issue.
There are two issues here:
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config has allowed_users=console. It's necessary to change that to allowed_users=anybody
Also, in /usr/bin/qubes-run-xorg.sh, XORG is set with -logfile. For the life of me I cant get that to work with any logfile - it doesnt seem to be permissions on the location.
I've just removed the logfile parameter. I'll play about a bit more and then put in a PR

Do we need Xwrapper at all? IIUC it is only necessary if X needs a root access, which isn't the case in Qubes VM. Is it possible to just skip it and launch X directly (as normal user)?

is the other ticket on debian 9 not starting in R4.0rc2 #3229 a dupe of this ticket?

Fixed here: QubesOS/qubes-gui-agent-linux@1c7422e |

Qubes OS version (e.g.,
R3.2): R3.2, R4.0Affected TemplateVMs (e.g.,
fedora-23, if applicable): debian-9X server started by qubes-gui-agent in Debian 9 template refuses to start, with this message (
~user/.xsession-errors):This applies only to the template built from scratch. Debian 8 template upgraded to Debian 9 works fine.
It's probably about
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config.
