Do you use rig control? 

Try renaming the config file (xlog.cfg, in the directory .xlog under
your home dir) to something else and see if it starts correctly. You
can then manually reconfigure it, or compare xlog.cfg with the backup
and see what's wrong.

If renaming the config file doesn't help, try the preferences.xml
file, or maybe you have a corrupt log file (any file ending with .xlog
in the .xlog directory). 

Log files are plain text, and there should be a backup file for each
of them too.
