I completely forgot about that because I thought it was unrelated, I just did it to get rid of some error messages when booting. :oops:
]]>[...]I checked the md5sum of my arch-0.7.iso and it is right. Can be that md5 chacksum ok, but file bad?
I wish I knew. I really don't. MD5Sums and their reliability are every bit the mystery to me as the nipples on my chest.
Either way, I'm glad you got it working. I salute your efforts with my bottle of Shiner, "Na zdorovje" my slavic xfce brother...
]]>Can it be becouse of bad-downloaded arch-0.7.iso?
No. I doubt it. Either way, if you complete a succesful installation (no matter what version, 0.6 or 0.7), whether one package is messed up or not (which is unlikely), as long as you do
pacman -Sy pacman
pacman -Syu
as first steps after base installation, that will guarantee pacman is uptodate and your system is uptodate. From there, you install additional stuff like "pacman -Sy xfce", and everything should be clean. I don't know how current 0.7 "iso" files are with what's in our current repos, but I would doubt an "iso" is made just about every nite to reflect all the constant package updates which may occur. I may be wrong, and if so, that's impressive maintenance by Arch. Either way, by using "pacman -Syu" you can avoid any of those possibilities.
]]>As a last resort, backup your "~/.config" and "~/.xfce4" directories to somewhere safe, not "/tmp".
pacman -R xfce4-goodies
pacman -R xfce4
then,
pacman -Sy xfce4
pacman -Sy xfce4-goodies
as root (not a user),
startxfce4
That should get you into a clean xfce4 session. If everything seems ok, then you can copy those backup files back into place.
Let me know if you figure this thing out.
]]>Also, if you used our packages, were you upgrading from scratch, or using a prior version of xfce already, like 4.0?
The best way to get "xfce" working on your system is:
pacman -Sy xfce4
pacman -Sy xfce4-goodies
That's it. If you installed individual packages from the "xfce4" group at a time, you could run into problems.
Also, make sure you are uptodate on x.org.
* I'm just wondering why in your output you gave from "/tmp/xfce4.log", you don't seem to be running the dbus manager. I believe thats used by xfce4.

You should atleast have some "X" (xinit) stuff at the top of that file right? Did you view the whole file, and it still only shows those lines repeating?
