I'm only up to F-15 but I have observed for some time that with
a new install or sometimes after a yum update I have to use
"startxfce4." Then on subsequent boots plain old "startx"
works
until something gets updated, I don't know what or why, never
bothered trying to find out why since it's such a simple
workaround.
Small glitch: I tried to log out, and got rebooted instead -- to
some bad state where I had to reboot again, into init 3. From there I
used startxfce4 again; I may edit my grub.conf (or whatever serves as one
now) to make the init 3 permanent. I don't think I've needed a startx
command since the early days of RH7; I'd all but forgotten it existed.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
