During the install, did you get any errors?
What happens if you do:
# sudo aptitude update
and
# sudo aptitude full-upgrade
Errors?

So something is wrong with your X server setup; thus my suggestion to try a
simpler windowing system, and my suggestion to update/upgrade.

This is probably simply because X is not running; X-based apps aren't going
to be able to run if X is not first running.
I see that for startx, you're writing a "$" prompt (normal user, in most
cases - good), but or evolution, you're writing a "#" prompt (superuser
(root), in most cases - not good).
As a test, create an ~/.xinitrc file with the single line
/usr/bin/X11/xterm
If X can start, this should start only an xterm window ("exit" should shut
down X). (Don't forget to delete/modify/restore this file after this test
so your system works normally.)
