I've tried without success to install XFCE4 on Slitaz on my rolling install. I've tried F1 at boot and get an error message: "Failed to execute login command". Are alternate desktops supported? If so, how do I set them up? I much prefer XFCE's Whisker Menu to LXDE.

Hi Mike,
I just answered you on mailing list and then found this topic.
Sorry, looks like no one will resolve this problem in the Slitaz…

Hi Mike,
Please install the xorg-xdpyinfo package and try again.
BTW, can you test http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin ?

Before I install the Whisker Menu plugin, I need to be able to boot into the XFCE desktop. I'll try to install the xfce4-metapackage (again) and see what happens. Assuming that works, I'll try the Whisker Menu.
I will give it a try and report back...
Ok... I couldn't find an xfce metapackage, So I searched for "xfce" and am installing everything (except where there are also "-dev" files... I'm leaving them out).
Installing now...
Ok, so I've finished the install and I get "failed to execute login command" when I try to select XFCE as my desktop.
Any suggestions?

stroudmw i got it to work to load xfce ok am dyselcic but going to go into a little detail
first get all xfce stuff
then edit in home dir /.config/slitaz/applications.conf
chenge lxde-session to xfce4-session at bottom of file
then edit .xintrc in the home dir as seen on screenshot 1 amsure you can remove other lines but just testing
and you see what i got when did this screen 2 logout then choose xfce on slim its a messy way amsure to get it up and running but after fixing it to way you like should be ok
also can try a lightweight mate desktop just edit files changing xfce4-session to mate session only install : tazpkg -gi mate-panel mate-sesssion-manager

@stroudmw yeah thats the bad part i been triyng all different ways still no luck
am not at home but try this
in .xinitrc remove exec xfce4-session
add exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4
or exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch xfce4-session
maybe this will help
found on arch website
deactivate session-saving (Settings --> Session) and there was also an option called: "Ask before shutdown" which doesn't affect session-saving only but the logout-dialog too. With activating this option again the logout/reboot/shutdown prompt is there as I want.
