My config.xlaunch seems substantially different:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XLaunch WindowMode="MultiWindow" ClientMode="StartProgram" LocalClient="True" Display="0" 
RemoteProtocol="" LocalProgram=".startxwinrc" RemoteProgram="xterm" RemoteHost="" RemoteUser="" 
XDMCPHost="" XDMCPBroadcast="False" XDMCPIndirect="False" Clipboard="True" ExtraParams="-unixkill 
-listen tcp -clipboard -resize -engine 1 -emulate3buttons 100" Wgl="False" DisableAC="True" 
XDMCPTerminate="False" SSHKeyChain="False" SSHTerminal="True" ExtraSSH=""/>

Note that I set to start the .atartxwinrc program locally.  Also note the
extra parameters to the X server (though certainly not all of those are
relevant, just preferences).

You can also examine your /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log file for clues.
