Hello Marcia,
If you want to use XFCE as only window manager (as I do :), you can write
your ~/.xinitrc like this:
#!/bin/sh
#
# xinitrc file for XFce 3 startxfce script
# Some distro needs to allows even localhost to use the display
xhost +$HOSTNAME
xsetroot -solid black -cursor_name watch
# Start-up stuff from ~/Desktop/Autostart directory, if it exists
# (as it seems to be the new standard)
if [ -d "$HOME/Desktop/Autostart" ]; then
for i in `ls -1 ${HOME}/Desktop/Autostart/ 2>/dev/null`; do
if [ -x $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i ]; then
$HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i &
fi
done
fi
# Launch xscreensaver (if available)
xscreensaver -no-splash -lock-mode &
# Finally, launch XFce window manager
exec xfwm
That should do it!
