xfce4 applications lost its connection to display

Hi, I was using arch with xfce4 with no problem at  all... but today xfce4 seems to have very strange problems...
As usual I logged in and give the startx command, well this time xfce starts loading but after this i've only a black screen with mouse pointer....
I thought it was an X server problem, but blackbox works fine... Then I discovered that xfce is running but not showing anything,  if i tape ALT+F2 xfrun4 starts and I can start any applications I want (as the browser I'm using now) including xfce4 application like xfce4-panel or xfce4-session , that didn't start before as usual...
So the problem seems to be that the DE can't initialize it's services, but it sounds strange 'cause before I never had any problems, and I don't remember if I upgraded somethingh during laste working session...
Xorg log in /var/log  seems to be useless, so I post my ~/.xsession-errors:

bash: no job control in this shell
