That indicates something else on your machine is launching it, and
deleting it only blocked whatever else is on your machine from
starting it again.  No program, no matter how complicated, can
magically start itself; something else must always start it.  Virus
and trojan programs typically do this by running several different
very small programs that watch each other, and when any one program
from the malaicious package is killed, the others restart it.

This being new behavior after being installed over a year also points
to something else trying to use xlaunch rather than xlaunch itself
being the problem.

Everything I've said has already been posted to the list; you need to
be subscribed to the list for the replies to come to you as a normal
practice, and it is highly recommended when posting to possible
problem to be subscribed at least as long as the problem is being
addressed.
