Well no, I don't have anything installed anywhere else. I'm pretty careful
about that. When I try tp start xfce4 from a terminal I see:
[gardnerj at localhost gardnerj]$ xfce4
** Message: xfce4: Cannot connect to session manager
Killed
[gardnerj at localhost gardnerj]$ 

with much disk thrashing and CPU usage before it pops up "killed"
If I try to start it as root (which I tried just to be sure it wasn't just
my personal settings) I see:
[root at localhost gardnerj]# xfce4
** Message: xfce4: Cannot connect to session manager

(xfce4:16279): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmain.c: line 994 (gtk_main_quit):
assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed Killed
[root at localhost gardnerj]# 

That's it as far as error messages. :-(
