To make sure you've got it altogether and have the proper RPM's
installed, changed the inittab to runlevel 3; after you've logged in on
console mode, type "startxfce4" - all the XFCE4 stuff should load
correctly....SHOULD...

If THAT happens, then you're going to have to look towards setting up
XFCE4 in the MKDKKDM - the graphical XWin manager - Todd Slater has some
slick procedures in getting this going with MDK...

Personally, I like starting my system in console login mode so I can
very quickly troubleshoot/change anything...but that's me...
