starting problem

[Akram]

Hello,
I installed Xfce in my FreeBSD:

# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4
# make install clean

and:

% echo "/usr/local/bin/startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc

knowing that I use SLiM as loggin manager, after restarting the system login , it gives me an error message:

Unable to contact settings server: 
Failed to connect to socket /var/tmp/dbus-4HnHuPkdjg:Connection refused

and:

Unable to load a failsafe session: 
Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes: 
Xfconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem); environment variable  
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrestly (must include "/usr/local/etc"), 
or xfce4-session is insstalled incorrectly.

Thank you.

Did you enable dbus and hald in /etc/rc.conf and either start them or reboot and then confirm that they are running?
