Re: xfce4 startup issue

The last few days on -current pkgsrc I upgraded gnome, xfce4 and mate
on -current (amd64, atm from an hour ago). They all seem to work fine;
I did install avahi, hal and dbus as per the gnome's MESSAGE, but
found that xfce4 works without the former two; I always start xfce4
with 'startxfce4', for some reason I don't see the xfce4 session from
gdm. Minor annoyance is that file name clash between the themes
required for gnome and the other two -

Avahi was being pulled in when I installed seamonkey, so I’ve disabled it for the time being.  Where I am now is testing with 2018Q4 packages.  With dbus disabled xfce comes up and more or less runs. (Mouse clicks and window movement is really hit or miss.)  With dbus enabled xfce hangs at the autostart point but it takes a long time to get there and I’m not finding any errors in the logs.  Haven’t tried the same install using current versions of packages, but it’s on my list of things to do.
