xfce doesn't stay put!

[Christel Robert]

This is what I get when I start in failsafe, chinese to me:

christel at christel:~$ startxfce4

|I'm using xfce4. As for starting, it is definitely not a command line: when I switch on I have this xunbuntu splash (pitch black with dard blue xubuntu) that indicates what's loading, then an unbuntu pinkish screen asking for username, then password, with an option for which session I want.
|As for .xsession-errors, I've no idea what you're talking about. Sorry I'm a newbie. On my way to look for it, though.

|PS I'm top posting because we started that way. Sorry.

||Sounds like your sessiona manager is crashing.
||
||What version of Xfce are you using? Are you starting from XDM or from
||the command line via startxfce? What does .xsession-errors say?
