Created attachment 819016 [details] modified Xclients file to start also XFCE Description of problem: If only XFCE is installed then "startx" will not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.2-8 How reproducible: If only XFCE is selected to be installed, then switch to runlevel 3 and enter 'startx'. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose the desktop environment 'XFCE' during the installation of F19. 2. Change the runlevel from 5 to 3. current: init 3 permanent: ln -s /etc/systemd/system/default.target /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target 3. startx Actual results: startx abort Expected results: XFCE should start Additional info: It works fine in runlevel 5. But i like the login at the text console and then to enter startx. It would be nice to expand Xclients to start other desktop enveronments. I attached the file Xclients.with_XFCE that expand Xclients with XFCE.
The file 'Xclients' is part of the package 'xorg-x11-xinit'.
