You may have made a mistake in editing the .base16pp(?) file. Try starting X
with 'startx > X_debug 2>&1' or whatever your X command is (this will pipe all X
output to the file X_debug). After it exits, read the X_debug file, it should
contain an error message regarding the afterstep config files.
I've done the same thing many times myself.
