[Solved] xfce - apps don't start

I have just installed xfce. First xorg, configured it and then xfce4. It started as always but some apps like thunar, squeeze even terminal need about 5 minutes to appear on screen. I see them loaded (htop) but no other activity, and after quite a long time they just pop on the screen. Is this a bug or  something I did wrong (I don't know what could be done wrong with installing xfce)?

Make sure lo is enabled and your hostname is in /etc/hosts.

Checked and rechecked all configuration files. Reinstalled and the problems is gone. Weird! (but this happened to me with more distros so I forgive Arch this time)
