Both root and user has .xsession linked to .xinitrc and contains #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 If I execute startx as root TWM is started! If I execute startxfce4 as root XFCE4 is started If I execute startx as user I get a black screen that after some minutes returns to the prompt. If I execute startxfce4 as user XFCE4 is started I've checked the rights on startx and startxfce4 plus .xsession and .xinitrc and they are the same as I have on another 7.2 system that works. I could need some help to find the problem. Thanks Leslie
