Hi folks,

I'm attempting to install SLiM and XFCE4 on 4.8.

I first installed slim to replace the oh-so-pretty xdm, and it worked fine
to get into fvwm.  After installing xfce4 however, xdm started instead of
slim on boot.  As best I can determine it's an xfce problem, not a slim
problem.

relevant lines from .xsession-errors:

/usr/local/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
Agent pid 1926
xfdsktop[18312]: starting up
xfce4-settings-helper is already running

relevant lines from slim.log

/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /var/run/slim.auth

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again
Please consult the X.org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help

No segfaults or anything in dmesg.

I'm at a loss here, has anyone encountered similar problems?
