To use valgrind, do ./configure --enable-debug, then I find it easier to launch X by hand, so something like:

$ sudo valgrind --trace-children /usr/bin/Xorg -ac -noreset 2>&1 | tee /tmp/xorg.txt

switch back to a second VT, or login in remotely, then
$ DISPLAY=:0 gnome-session

switch back to X

Running under valgrind, you will notice a slowdown, but not quite as much as perhaps you would imagine.
