If you are logging in successfully, then error messages are
being sent to the ".xsession-errors" file in your home directory --
check there for more clues.
It is empty:
% ls -ltra

-rw------- 1 udippel udippel 245 2008-05-15 10:39 .Xauthority
Also, the default start-up runs the ".xsession" file in your
home directory, if it exists and has appropriate permissions.
Try removing/renaming that.
No change, I deleted it. It contained:
exec esd &
exec /usr/bin/startxfce4
I also created a new user, and she experiences the same problem.
-rw------- 1 testo testo 0 2008-05-15 10:43 .xsession-errors
What else could I do?
stop the login manager
login at the console
# X&
# export DISPLAY=:0.0
# xterm
now switch to the X display (Alt+F8 probably)
move cursor to the xterm, and
# /usr/bin/startxfce4
now see what happens.
If X crashes, the XFCE is crashing X, if not you should see some nice
XFCE problems.
