I always boot into multiuser before starting X with LXDE using startx when I want a gui. So, this does work, as others have confirmed.
Try putting the following in a file called .Xclients in your home directory.
#! /bin/bash
exec startxfce4
and once you have, run startx again. If you use the command startx -- vt10 it should leave the messages from X on tty1, and put the X display on virtual console 10. If you want to start X as a different user, you can then start it on a different virtual console.
startx -- vt10 seems to work, opening a mini terminal window.
If it starts a mini terminal instead of xfce, then you didn't create the file .Xclients in your home directory and put the above two lines in it.
