For the same reason my method would also have worked.
The /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc which exists is exec'd since it does exist and is
executable. Subsequently /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients also exists and will be exec'd and
that is pretty much useful only for GNOME or KDE. So.... /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc needs to
be modified to get xfce to run.
Michael's is modified to suit the need.
I also modified it, but choose to do it in a different fashion.
Both methods work fine.
You could have also modified /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients to include support for xfce. But,
that is probably a bad idea since it very well may get changed on updates.
And this is not a bug with the default xstartup script?
