OK, according to Gentoo-wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Start_X_on_login ~/.bash_profile if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startx; fi The above command works. with: ~/.xinitrc exec startxfce4 Both ssh and x2go sessions (both: connect to local desktop and XFCE) work correctly.
