I disable "slim" login manager and try not to use any display manger

Of course you are, because you are still trying to start X. If you
must start X from .bash_profile, you need something like
[ -z "$SSH_TTY" ] && startx ...
to only start it when not using SSH.
What do you suggest?
I was planning to get away from "slim" as I think it is getting more
unstable; I just need a simple system to start X, log-in over ssh and
use x2go session.
Why do you need to start X, doesn't x2go run its own X session? You are
trying to start X in an SSH session, which is what gives your error. The
line I suggested runs startx only if you are not logging in via SSH. No
display manager is involved.
Maybe I wasn't clear. No, I don't start any X over ssh.
When I'm directly in front of the PC and I have a log-in screen and type user
ID + passwords
I was under impression that "startxfce4" would run automatically when from
.xinitrc
~/.xinitrc
exec startxfce4
but it doesn't, when I log-in the XFCE4 is not starting automatically, I have
to type manually: startxfce4
I see you have already solved your problem. But it bears mentioning:
.xinitrc is executed by runing `startx`, not by the login shell.
