What shell are you using? In Bash--

bash: $XCLIENTS: ambiguous redirect
My error. I do this from a bash script, and have the variable XCLIENTS
defined in the script. I just cut and pasted from the script, and
didn't notice the problem. XCLIENTS is just ~/.Xclients, which is
where X (startx) expects to find the desktop definition. It has been a
long time, but I think I found it somewhere in the X documentation.
~]$ XCLIENTS="exec startlxde"
~]$ echo $XCLIENTS
exec startlxde
For execution from a login shell it should be
echo 'exec startlxde' > ~/.Xclients
