I wanted to start directly into XFCE4 from the CD.  So I
added a very similar function to the file
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession before remastering the CD:

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 &
    xfwm4 --daemon >/dev/null 2>&1 &
    xftaskbar4 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
    xfdesktop > /dev/null 2>&1 &
    exec /usr/bin/xfce4-panel
}

One line more at the end:

    xfce4|XFCE4) [ "$FREEMEM" -ge "35000" ] && startxfce4 || starttwm lowmem 64; ;; 

to allow booting from CD with 'knoppix desktop=xfce4'.  Btw.
the FREEMEM value for GNOME is 45000, for KDE 60000!
Anyway, xfce-mcs-manager still segfaults in my
configuration.  Is there a good way to find out the reason?

Cheers!
