The instructions for installing Xfce follow the instructions for installing and configuring a basic Xorg setup. If you're reading the chapter in order, there shouldn't be any problems. > You also need dbus_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, like for KDE. I believe the instructions account for that, too. 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.
