This is why I never use graphical logons. 'xwmconfg' only works under runlevel 3 when using CLI logon and then 'startx' If you used any kdm/gdm/xdm etc (graphical display managers) for login, they have their own config files. Xfce doesn't ship with one. Thus, if you set runlevel 4, Xfce doesn't know what to do. Since you had KDE installed, KDE *does* know what to do with runlevel 4 as it ships with a GUI logon manager - which is set by default to load KDE regardless of what xwmconfig sets. Since you dumped KDE, runlevel 4 now looks for xdm (part of X11)- an older more primitive display manager. /etc/rc.d/rc.4 ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession /etc/kde/kdm /etc/X11/xdm Have fun!
