Using a short cut to my script, just like your shortcut (except mine is
on my own desktop, not all-users'), I...can't reproduce your problem. WJJFM.

I don't know what to tell you.  Please try to use the -debug options, as
I recommended before.

Also can't reproduce. WJFFM.

Try this:

====================================================
#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
let -a n=0
DBGLVL=1

start_XWin()
{
    # Cleanup from last run.
    rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix
    printf "starting xserver\n" >>~/checkX_${n}.log

    XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error 2>/dev/null &
}

/usr/bin/checkX --debug=$DBGLVL >~/checkX_${n}.log 2>&1 || start_XWin
n=`expr $n + 1`

while ! /usr/bin/checkX --debug=$DBGLVL >~/checkX_${n}.log 2>&1
do
  printf "waiting for xserver to start [$n]\n" >>~/checkX_${n}.log
  sleep 1
  n=`expr $n + 1`
done
sleep 1
/usr/bin/urxvt-X &
====================================================
