The only way I can get xfce4 to start on my remaster is to use 'desktop=xfce4' but it is the only WM on the disc so really there is no need for a choice.

I have looked at /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession but don't really know what I would add to that file for an xfce4 entry.
Perhaps something like:
Code:
[ -n "$XFCE4DIR" ] || XFCE4DIR="/usr"
export XFCE4DIR
What does the following do:
Code:
DONTCHANGE=""
[ -e $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals ] && DONTCHANGE="yes"
I have added this:
Code:
# xfce4 is the default 
[ -z "$DESKTOP" ] && DESKTOP="xfce4

Thanks for any ideas.
