There's your problem.  xterm is falling over and the session falls down,
which causes the X server to quit again.  Why is xterm printing that
message?  There's something hosed on your system somewhere or it
wouldn't do that (don't ask me where - there are dozens of possibilities
and it's just going to take you some detective work there locally to
figure out if it's bad binaries, permission problems, etc and so forth).
