You also need "pkg install xinit" and "pkg > install Xorg", at least for FreeBSD 11. The instructions for installing Xfce follow the instructions for installing and configuring a basic Xorg setup.

DBus should be started by ConsoleKit, which is started when running `startx` if your ~/.xinitrc file contains the line printed in that section of the Handbook. > Also, to start, you need "startxfce4", not "startx". `startx` is part of x11/xinit, and executes whatever is present in the ~/.xinitrc file. Again, if you followed the instructions in the order they're presented, `startxfce4` should already be in ~/.xinitrc, and `startx` should work just fine. -- :: Brandon J.
