I had something similar, it turned out my uprade didn't finish.
I ended up changing my sources to a mirror since it wasn't retrieving 
some packages and then using a -f:
sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade

After that X started working for me again and I used Synaptic to 
unistall Postfix which then elimnated all those messages you mentioned.
