Can't run Xfce4. (Can't find xinit) [SOLVED]

I don't have any initial program (startx, startxfce4 nor xinit). Neither do I have a desktop manager (do I need one?) but in the "Xfce4 manual" it just said to: pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies and then startxfce4. What must I do?

Regards
Richard

:oops: It worked. However.

line 45: exec: xinit: not found

[EDIT]
Apparently startxfce4 is a script and it assigns "prog=xinit". Not exactly a bash guru but I assume that's the problem. What should I do?
