Under Debian unstable it works fine for many months now.
Under Knoppix 'knoppix desktop=xfce4' boots into xfce4,
but the settings menu does not work, because the
xfce-mcs-manager segfaults.  Maybe I did sth. wrong?
Can somebody test this, please?

Here is the start function:

startxfce4() {
# Create automatic Desktop icons
    mkdesktophdicons

    playsound

    GDK_USE_XFT=1
    export GDK_USE_XFT

    if [ ! -e $HOME/.xfce4 ]; then
        cp -au /etc/skel/.xf* /usr/share/knoppix/profile/.xf*$* $HOME/
        [ ! -d $HOME/.xfce4 ] && mkdir -p $HOME/.xfce4
    fi
    xfce-mcs-manager >/dev/null 2>&1 & # segfaults!
    xfwm4 --daemon >/dev/null 2>&1 &
    xftaskbar4 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
    xfdesktop > /dev/null 2>&1 &
    exec /usr/bin/xfce4-panel
}

Note: Both xfce4 and xfce-mcs-manager packages from Debian
unstable contain some '.a' files which are huge and of
course not necessary.  A bug about this is filed.

Note2: The xfwm4-themes and xfce4-themes packages seem to
be necessary.  I don't know why, but it's more fun with
the themes anyway.

Cheers!
