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.
