[Solved] Where do I get startxfce?

Sideburns · 2011-12-13 01:54:48

Right now, I can only boot my main desktop into runlevel 3 after a botched upgrade from Fedora 14 to 16. From what I can tell, it may be gdm, not X itself. If I use startx, I get Gnome 3, which I don't want; in fact, I migrated to XFCE to avoid exactly that. I tried startxfce, but I don't have it, either on my desktop or my laptop. Where do I find it, or, failing that, what can I put into .xinitrc (which doesn't currently exist) to get it to do what I want?

The executable is startxfce4. My .xinitrc has this line in it:

exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

OK, that did it. I'm now posting from my desktop. I still have to boot into runlevel 3 and start things manually, and there are still problems, but it's usable again. And, manual starting isn't really an issue when you consider that I never reboot except for a kernel update.
