It should start correctly although you will be missing the services supplied by the 'session' add-on, which is required I believe by the xfce meta port. At least you can get Xfce4 up and running. I cannot believe that this update was vetted thoroughly, however, it is a little to late to bitch about it now. These sort of problems are becoming all to common place lately, IMHO. -- Jerry FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
