28 Humm....that worked for me:
29
30
31 firefly ~ # which startxfce4
32 /usr/bin/startxfce4
33 firefly ~ # equery belongs /usr/bin/startxfce4
34 [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/startxfce4 in *... ]
35 xfce-base/xfce-utils-4.6.1 (/usr/bin/startxfce4)
36 firefly ~ #
37
38 mark@firefly ~ $ cat .xinitrc
39 exec startxfce4
40 mark@firefly ~ $
41
