Yes, done that, "configuration is borked." as you say. What I want to 
know is what and find a way to fix the problem. I created a second user 
and xfce still comes up on console-2, Console-1, does not display the 
same messages about xfce, and xfce under the new user works nicely, 
stuff happens quickly, there's no delay when doing "su" and entering 
password.

I could live with it coming up on console-2, that may be a peculiarity 
to the Dell Optiplex 755 that I only noticed now, but the sluggish 
response to some commands and very slow start is indicative of a problem 
affecting xfce ...
