That’s a shame.

How do you start the Xfce session? from the command line or some 
(graphical) login manager?

Running `execsnoop` and `opensnoop` in parallel on other TTYs should 
show you what is happening, or you need to run everything under `strace` 
(`strace -ff -t` or so).


Kind regards,

Paul
