You must execut the "xfce4_setup" command in a shell to be able to boot 
XFCE 4. You must type this command with all the users who will be able 
to launch XFCE 4 (ROOT user included !)
After, you will type "startx" to launch XFCE. Nonetheless, at home, XDM 
is launched automatically when i boot my Debian GNU/Linux
