Following recommendation of Christian I have added following line in
my /etc/inittab. Works like a charm for me. If you want to know what
is happening (log) you can replace /dev/null with any file you choose.
(/home/$user/LOG)
(make sure default run level is @ 5)

x:5:once:/bin/su samuel -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c startxfce4 >/dev/null 2>&1"
