Creating the above .xsession files disables the default XFCE4 startup
and I get only an empty X screen. So what now?
      

You want to have a file such as this:
=============================================
#!/bin/sh

#type any additional commands you want to launch here

#Now launch the window manager
xfce-mcs-manager
xfwm4 --daemon
xftaskbar4 &
xfdesktop &
exec xfce4-panel
==============================================

Save that as ~/.xsession. chmod 700 ~/.xsession

    

Sorry, even with this setup (plus the "xsetb off") I'm not able to
create a standard XFCE4 desktop, there is a warning not compatible with
"freedesktop.org".

It's now 2 weeks later, I've asked in 2 different newsgroups, poked
around every possible place on the net and still don't know how to
permanenty disable the sound in X. How can Linux ever become a contender
in the desktop marked if such a simple thing can't be accomplished?!?
