If you start it from an xterm, you can see error messages. That is a good start to diagnosing problems.

with avi-xmms, you can play divx/avi/asf using xmms.

so if you type "xmms" at the console you don't get any error messages? Are you sure xmms isn't already running on a different desktop? You could try removing the avi plugin from /usr/lib/xmms/Input/libavi* but I can't see that stopping xmms from starting
