--- Comment #2 from Mikhail T. <mi at ALDAN.algebra.com> ---
Oliver, xdm is a perfectly cable login-manager and there is no reason xfce4
should not be working with it.

The solution is proposed here:

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8841

Following the example given over there, I modified my own ~/.xsession to
initialize dbus before launching startxfce4:

if [ -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ]
then
        eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
exec ...... startxfce4

With the above work-around, I am able to login now, but the xfce4 port should
have a new patch added as a fix to make work-around unnecessary.
