Here's an update...

1) I killed evolution-womba and evolution-alarm (happen to catch it
while it was checking)

2) Started xfdesktop in a term window and left it open

3) In a second term window I checked to see that xfdesktop was running
and nothing Evo-related was

4) I deleted saved sessions in ~/.cache/sessions

5) I saved the desktop upon exiting

6) Started X again via startxfce4 (I had changed to init 3 by the time I
tried your suggestions) and closed the two term windows, saving the
desktop upon exiting back to console

7) Started X up again and....OK!

Thanks Marc!

Now, all I need to do is get some help as to why I was having all of
those error messages upon starting up xfdesktop. Any suggestions? :0)

A very grateful Paul
