I get this error:

Carlos,

        Try "startxfce4" and see if that helps.

No good.


  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> startxfce4 -- :2
  /usr/bin/startxfce4: Starting X server

  Unrecognized option: --
  use: X [:<display>] [option]
  -a #                   mouse acceleration (pixels)
  -ac                    disable access control restrictions
  ...
  ...


As I'm starting a secondary session (to go into virtual terminal #8) I need ":2", but it is ignored:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> startxfce4 :2
  /usr/bin/startxfce4: Starting X server


  Fatal server error:
  Server is already active for display 0
          If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
          and start again.

  Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keygiving up.
  xinit:  Resource temporarily unavailable (errno 11):  unable to connect to X 
server
  xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.


It tries to use "display 0", and that is no-no. It is in use, of course, that's why I request :2


If I try "startxfce4 --help | less", the pipe to "less" is ignored, and it says:

  Fatal server error:
  Unrecognized option: --help

Seems buggy as hell to me :-(
