Hi, Gentoo, The Subject: just about says it all; following the instructions in "The Xfce Configuration Guide", I did
# emerge -avt xfce4-meta followed by $ echo "exec startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc followed by $ startx. The X-server complained about not finding startxfce4. A quick find command, "find / -name startxfce4" (and I do mean quick - it took only half a second :-) demonstrated a complete absence of a file with that name. Help, please! What do I need to do to get xfce running? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
