Hello all,
I have a problem with the xfce4 environment.
First, I can't see any panel by default.
Second, the settings button near the shutdown button does not work.
Finally and more importantly, when I call from the terminal settings from terminal, settings start fine, but when I click on Window Manager or Window Manager Tweaks I get:
[jav@localhost ~]$ xfce4-settings-manager
These settings cannot work with your current window manager (GNOME Shell)I already tried deleting sessions as mentioned in Arch wiki and also called startxfce4 again.
Any ideas?

It seems you're running a gnome-session. These settings only have effect on xfwm4. Do you have xfwm4 and xfce4-panel installed? How do you start your xfce4-session?
What do you mean with "by default"? Do you have to manually launch the panel?

I have both installed.
I didn't know I have to start the xfce4-session. I think I added it to some file after installing X.
I have to manually enter commands in the terminal to launch the panel GUI or settings GUI in xfce4 : /

[jav@localhost ~]$ startxfce4
/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0.0

startxfce4 should be used to start xfce4-session. It can be run from the virtual terminal(the screen-filling terminal you see when you boot up a (fresh) machine) directly or can be called in your .xinitrc. Instead of
exec xfce4-sessionyou should have
exec startxfce4in your .xinitrc.
It looks like you're running startxfce4 from an X session(probably Gnome). Xfce is a replacement for Gnome, it's not run inside of Gnome or any other window manager or desktop environment(well, some parts can, like the panel). What's in your .xinitrc, especially at the exec line? Note that there should be only one exec line.
