I guess we have only two methods to further going down

1) checking with strace if it is crashing during any system call

  strace -o XWin.strace /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow  -auth

XWin.strace should contain some hints, hopefully


2) use the gdb debugger, but it will require the installation of
several debuginfo packages
