Comment:
Looking at xfce4-session, it is setting XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
and running
'exec xinit /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc'
The file /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc exports several variables:
XDG_MENU_PREFIX, DESKTOP_SESSION, GLADE_{CATALOG,PIXMAP,MODULE}_PATH,
creates directories $HOME/.config, $HOME/.cache if needed, runs xdg-user-
dirs-update, xrdb, xmodmap, nad finally starts xfce4-session.
On the other hand startx ends up running
'xinit "xterm" -- "/opt/xorg/bin/X" :0 -auth $HOME/.serverauth.$$'
xinit uses at .xinitrc.
The bottom line is that xfce4-session is much more robust.
