I hate to suggest this as I'm allergic to terminals, but open a terminal
and start it by typing 

xmms  [ENTER]

and see if there are any error messages. (Chances are that there are,
and that they're really really helpful)

Unix/Linux programmers seem incapable to pop up an error message window
when something major goes wrong, instead they expect everyone and their
granny to use a terminal or enjoy a romp through log files....   Given
enough time, this will change.

By the way, if you installed XMMS because MP3's didn't play otherwise,
then note you can install support for MP3 in the usual music players by
reading the following, VERY helpful article:

http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats

(The reasons popular music and video formats don't play by default out
of the box are legal/political, not technical.)

Cheers,
