	Alas! I get:

[btth at localhost ~]$ export -p | grep DESKTOP_SESSION
declare -x DESKTOP_SESSION="default"
[btth at localhost ~]$

	Again alas! I tried both "ps auxfw|grep xfce" and "ps auxfw|most" 
and scanned the latter. 

	So what is the default desktop for M 4, and how do I get xfce 
instead?? I'm sure I had it in M 3.
