Another thing to try, starting Xastir with _no_ config file:

Close Xastir

cd ~/.xastir/config
mv xastir.cnf xastir.cnf.backup

Restart Xastir with a no config file and see if it comes up ok.
It'll recreate default parameters.  If so, you can try copying your
setup parameters across between the two files (when Xastir's not
running), or use Xastir itself to set things up again.

If you use the second option, either forcibly cause a configuration
save or shut down/restart Xastir to rewrite your config data.  This
will make sure the config info gets written out to the file.

On very rare occasions, Xastir's config file can get corrupted.
Try the above to see if that's what's happened.
