I get a message box when starting XFCE4:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Unable to load a failsafe session"

"Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes:
xfconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem); environment
variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/
usr/local/etc"), or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is only one button on the dialog box, "Exit" (with the leave-door
icon).

dbus and hald are running, I did setenv XDG_CONFIG_DIRS /usr/local/etc
before running startxfce4.  xfce4-session is installed.  There are messages
that xfconfd exited with signal 11 in /var/log/messages.
