Running Xfce
------------
If use you a login manager like GDM, you may have two ways to start Xfce :
- “Xfce Session” will run a complete xfce session, using Xfce-provided
scripts (/usr/bin/startxfce4 which will then run /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
or $HOME/.config/xfce4/xinitrc).
- “Default session” will run whatever is the default session manager on
your system. This is the /usr/bin/x-session-manager alternatives, meaning
you can tune it with update-alternatives (8). If you only have Xfce
installed on your system, it will default to xfce4-session, meaning
you'll be able to have an Xfce running chosing that option, but it'll be a
minimal one because all the preparation made in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
before running xfce4-session won't be done.
Managing shutdown
-----------------
There are three ways to enable user to shutdown the computer from Xfce:
- use sudo, and allow user to run /usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper in sudoers
- use dbus and hal
- hal and dbus should be installed, up and running
- user should be in powerdev group
- use policykit and a compatible login manager (gdm is known to work)
