The main question is: *what* quits with signal 11?  Xfce is made up of
several programs working together.  I'd bet it's actually the X server
itself that's crashing (IIRC, when it crashes I believe it prints out
the signal number like that), which we can't really help you with.

At any rate, you simply haven't provided enough information.  Give us
the console output of running X and showing where the crash happens.
Does anything leave a 'core' file in your home directory?  If so, using
'gdb' to get some more information would be helpful[1].
