xinitrc and startx
Log in to Linux desktop without a display manager with xinitrc and startx

Have a look at the .xinitrc file in your home directory. You should be able to specify there which desktop environment you want as default (via startx).

# Here Xfce is kept as default

start xfce.
RE: startx -> XFCE, as selected by a link
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitc -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.xfce

Have you cleared ~/.cache/sessions? I usually just purge the whole folder when I have xfce issues. Maybe back it up first...

Xephyr
Running a nested xfce4-session in Xephyr

Xephyr
run "xfwm4" in the terminal for window decorations(substitute your window manager if you are not using xfce).

is login screen the only eye-candy you mean?
which of these would work? Xephyr or xinit/startx, or both?
would this mean i can run xfce (all components) without xorg?

Are you saving your changes to a save.dat file? If you use changes=EXIT: press any key other than space or Enter when shutting down/rebooting. It stops changes from being saved.

i know, and i have been feeling bad about hijacking. I will make a separate thread for my separate issue, and i'll remove the unrelated posts from here.

thx, happy to participate!
i want to see if i can get xfce to idle under 100 MB
Mainly in interest of low-resource hardware and limited RAM.
Porteus is already one of the smallest xfce linux's -- why not take it further?
I love puppy linux xtahr, but not real linux-- too hobbyish, unreliable repos, etc. But maybe some lessons to learn from puppy.
i noticed xorg doesn't seem to be running on Porteus 32-bit, correct? I'm idling at at 170 MB.
Seems no sense running 64-bit on 2 GB ram.
