Hi,
I am not able to run xfce4 on a new install of arch linux. When I run startxfce4 at the command line it begins to start, one panel shows and the wallpaper sort of flashes up in various areas before once again going blank, the panel also disappears and I am left with just the mouse pointer and a black background. I am able to run startx with the default twm window manager with no problems. Any help would be appreciated.

I seem to have solved the problem now, for anyone else you wants to know you have to issue the following commands:
sudo rm /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
Then
sudo pacman -Syu
It seems that the locale.sh file may have been stopping pacman from installing/updating packages correctly.
