   This is a laptop used by a comparatively computer-naive user. It's not a
server. And the user is not a linux geek although her portables have run
only linux the past dozen years. It makes life easier for her to have Xfce4
come up upon login, but the immediate issue is why, after creating .xinitrc
for her account, she can no longer shut down the system when she's finished.

   Have not before seen this behavior with Xfce, and I've used that since
1997.
