Xfce MORE xfce issues...

FreeBSD 14.4 RELEASE-p11, GENERIC amd 64 system here, installed on an old Seagate 320GB HDD, using X-11 and using the xfce desktop.

I have had some audio issues here, and in trying to track those down, I went into settings and disabled pulseaudio before I realized that xfce includes pulseaudio as an integral part of xfce.

So, when I startx now, when xfce starts, the main screen is all blank and black. There is the small icon in the upper left labeled "Applications", which is still active and correctly-usable, so I can still do the work I need to do, although the applications open more slowly than they did before I messed xfce up.

Also, the small window in the upper right corner (the calendar, etc.) is still there and active.

However, there are now 4 dark squares which indicate other "workspaces" which I do not remember being there before I made a mess of this.

So, how do I fix this....if it can be fixed?

How did you do the graphics set-up?

I install drm-kmod + xorg, configure it (video group + kld_list), then install xfce, configure it (dbus_enable + xinitrc), reboot, then startx to desktop
