Hi,
I got this from
http://xfce.org/index.php?page=documentation&lang=en#start
To run xfce4 from a display manager in Debian I use ~/.xsession
Mine looks like:
#!/bin/sh
xscreensaver-command -exit
xscreensaver -no-splash &
xfce-mcs-manager
xfwm4 --daemon
xftaskbar4 & If you don't like a taskbar, delete this line.
xfdesktop &
exec xfce4-panel
Select default as the window manager in your display manager (I use wdm.
do the others (gdm or kdm) call it something else?) and log in.
HTH
