Glad it's working. You don't have startxfce4 in /usr/local/bin? Really all you need is: xfce-mcs-manager xfwm4 --daemon xftaskbar4 & xfdesktop & exec xfce4-panel I'm back to using the taskbar now instead of the iconbox; you can run them both at the same time I suppose. Most everything else is a panel plugin or available through setup. Right-click the panel to add a new item or set the properties of the various packages.
