No idea.  What's happening here is most likely that its executing
your X server, window manager and clients and they are failing
(probably the X server itself) because of some configuration issue.

I usually debug these types of problems by running the X server
from a command line on the console and seeing what it does.
An alternative is to find the log file its writing and look over
that for error messages.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific.  Hope that helps at least a little..
