I would also suggest that you do "apt-cache search xfce4" and install all the xfce4 packages that look interesting to you. When booting, my machines start in the console and I use startx to run XFCE4. This will only work if you, as your normal user, in your home directory, run/usr/bin/xfce4_setup This will do make all the required changes to your config files.
