Having trouble understanding how to start xfce4

[Brian J. Tarricone]

the startxfce4 script is in the xfce-utils module.  note that by 
default, the startup scripts try to load xfwm4 and xfdesktop as well, so 
unless you install those, 'startxfce4' will give you no backdrop and no 
window manager.
