Obviously !!!

Now the script sound like this:
---------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

##
## The DISPLAY MUST be set before
##

#export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
export DISPLAY=:0

##
## If you want these variables defined for the shell,
## they MUST be defined here
##

#export PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:"$PATH"
export XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
export XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt
export XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
export XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

## --------------------------------------------------------

##
## FIRST method
##

start_XWin()
{
    # Cleanup from last run.
    rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix

    XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error +bs &
}

/usr/bin/checkX || start_XWin

## --------------------------------------------------------

##
## SECOND method
##

# /usr/bin/checkX || /usr/local/bin/start_XWin.sh

## --------------------------------------------------------

exec /usr/bin/urxvt -e /usr/bin/bash -l
---------------------------------------------------


And it works fine.


Many thanks,

   Angelo.
