  -rws--x--x    1 root   root    5168 Sep  6 00:27 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper 
     ^            ^^^^
     set-uid bit  owned by root

It's complaining that Xwrapper isn't set-uid root. Either the bit is not
set, or (less likely but possible) the filesystem it's on is mounted with
a no-suid option.

To fix it, run the following as root:

    # chown root /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper
    # chmod u+s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper
