Hello there!
I have a relatively new installation of 8.0-Stable, and TWM, fvwm and KDE4 run just fine. Just installed xfce4 from ports, and when I start it up (either from startx or slim), I get:
There doesn't seem to be any relevant information in the log files. A Dbus problem? Also, I assume xfce uses pulseaudio for sound, and I'm going to have problems with that once it starts up?
The funny part is that when I try to start xfce as root (just for testing), it seems to work.
regards,
Ohle

There doesn't seem to be any relevant information in the log files. A Dbus problem? Also, I assume xfce uses pulseaudio for sound, and I'm going to have problems with that once it starts up?
