Kernel 2.6.17 and Etch are installed here 
and startx invokes xfce, all OK.

But how does startx find xfce rather than 
xpdf or another X client?  man startx 
remarks that it looks for ".xinitrc in the  
user's  home  directory.  If that  is  not 
found, it uses the file xinitrc in the 
xinit library directory."

There is no .xinitrc.

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc merely invokes
/etc/X11/xsession and this contains no 
reference to xfce.

Thanks,        ... Peter E.
