I have a system lock as soon as I login under xfce4 or xfce4-desktop. The unity logins are OK.
I had to reinstall ubuntu 12.04 and then installed xfce4 according to : https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/first-xubuntu I have run xfce4 fine before this so I suspect it is a recent problem. I will try another install of xfce4 tomorrow and see if I can make any progress.
