in startxwin.sh or startxwin.bat, which ever you use, add a call to
sleep 5 between the call to Xwin.... and the call to xterm ... and see what effect it has

i.e. assuming startxwin.sh ...
change

XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error &


# Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell.

xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l &


to

XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error &

sleep 5
# Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell.

xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l &
