Hello; I've recently tried Xfce, and it's very nice. Just thought I'd suggest, please set this file as executable: /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc I ended up doing chmod +x to that file in order to get it working in xinit. While here, I am having trouble as both mouse and the keyboard stop working in X. Curiously both worked find in KDE. Cheers, Pedro.
