I cannot start xfce from lightdm.  It tried, give me
a bunch of errors about xinit: unable to connect to
x server

But xfce starts fine from the command lien with startx

??????????

Cancel the request.  It is an issue with lightdm.  I replace
it with lxdm and problems solved.

I am stuck in the "endless loop" problem that is plaguing
lightdm users.  I have searched my ass off an everyone
with the issue can not find a cure.

So I disabled lightdm and installed lxdm.  It ain't as pretty
BUT IT WORKS!!!!

I even have autologin configured.  And it lets me
switch back and forth between Xfce and MATE.

My keeper on lxdm:

lxdm auto login:

# vi /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf

[base]
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
# autologin=todd
autologin=todd


## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config
# session=/usr/bin/startlxde
session=/usr/bin/startxfce4
