The Handbook is very outdated. I'm planning to submit an update for the next stable release (4.16). If you want to launch your session: 1. Add dbus_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf 2. Add a login manager (LightDM is recommended application) Xfce is gettext compliant, so if you want a session with your locale, you must create (or update) file located in /var/db/AccountsService/users/ This file matches your login account. It contains these following lines: [User] Language=your preferred locale (accountsservice understands only UTF-8, e.g. fr_FR.UTF-8) Session=xfce (in fact any files in /usr/local/share/xsessions/) XSession=(optional, same value above) SystemAccount=false xinitrc file is required for Xdm, Slim or without login manager. With LightDM is not necessary. Note: Even if LightDM is a cross-desktop display manager, gnome-shell does not work, it needs Gdm!

FreeBSD Port: x11-wm/xfce4-desktop
I noticed a curiosity in the xdg/xfce4/xinitrc using a call to linux systemd to activate dbus it does not look like this file has been patched for freebsd compatibility I notice that the FreeBSD Handbook at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html (last section on configuring Xfce) asks the user to install this file either as .xinitrc or .xsession An unsuspecting user following the Handbook is going to have an unpleasant surprise.

While it's technically correct most linux distributions providing XFCE as a default pair it with lightdm, so, with the latest update to 4.14, I made lightdm it's default display manager in the metaport.

In upgrade this package is missing (not in fresh install). pkg-message in xorg-server mentions to enable kern.evdev.rcpt_ask=6 (12 value works fine too). I think by default it is 3 (for keyboard and mouse). Mouse, keyboard and even touchpad work fine under Xfce without to configure anything in dialogs settings, Xorg settings are sufficient. If in the past some Xorg configuration was not necessary (for some users), with the recent update, tunning is needed. Here [1] my own settings (for French AZERTY keyboard, mouse and touchpad).

Hello; I've recently tried Xfce, and it's very nice. Just thought I'd suggest, please set this file as executable: /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc I ended up doing chmod +x to that file in order to get it working in xinit. While here, I am having trouble as both mouse and the keyboard stop working in X. Curiously both worked find in KDE.

It's not yet final version, and I don't know when it will be in ports tree. Personally I use Xfce 4.14 (and even development releases), it is quite stable.
