I wish I'd known this before I fumbled my way through xfce. I don't think I am getting that drop down box. Current state: It looks like the logouterror finally is no longer appearing. But I don't know what combo of xfce new stuff did the trick. I also did a kill on about 50-70 of those logout errors seen in ps aux --stale code ? However booting now does not start X: the system just hangs with a black screen, blinking dash. I can then get X via going to console,Ctrl-alt-F2, which gives me a sign in prompt, signing in as byers, and running startx. this gets me back to graphical desktop. It's only an extra step for the boot, but I would like to know how to fix this. I am assuming this problem was somehow caused by my fumbling xfce install. Is it sensible to try yum groupremove xfce, or maybe?: groupremove_leaf_only xfce then see if my system boots up with no need for 'startx', back in gnome. If that works, then redo yum groupinstall xfce ?
