For startup, see the FN article at: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/diego_figueroa/xfce/ Take note of the two sessions files towards the end that need to be present, which when done will include xfce in the sessions menu for init 5 starts. These do not get included when building from source. For init 3 starts for xfce4, use: startx xfce or /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 HTH, Marc
