xfce start issues

Hi All, Fedora 40 Xfce 4.18 Yes, I have googles (search.brave.com) this. Xfce won't start with startxfce4 but will with startx. This is the xinit (same as the startxfce4 error) error I am getting: $ xinit (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. (EE) (EE) Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. (EE) No protocol specified xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Resource temporarily unavailable xinit: server error removing /tmp/.X0-lock does no good. I put some echo's in both startx and startxfce4 to see what the difference is: startxfce4: if [ -f $BASEDIR/xinitrc ]; then echo "exec $prog $BASEDIR/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num}" > /tmp/startxfce4.if.run.string.txt exec $prog $BASEDIR/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num} elif [ -f $HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc ]; then mkdir -p $BASEDIR cp $HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc $BASEDIR/ echo "exec $prog $BASEDIR/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num}" > /tmp/startxfce4.elsif.run.string.txt exec $prog $BASEDIR/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num} else echo "exec $prog /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num}" > /tmp/startxfce4.else.run.string.txt exec $prog /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num} fi startxfce4.else.run.string.txt: exec xinit /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc -- vt3 vt3 startx.run.string.txt: xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X :1 vt2 -keeptty -auth /home/todd/.serverauth.9909 And this shows up like a soar thumb in startxfce4: I DO NOT have a /etc/xdg directory. But I do now: Reinstalled: xdg-user-dirs-gtk-0.11-4.fc40.x86_64 xdg-utils-1.2.1-1.fc40.noarch xfce-polkit-0.3-12.fc40.x86_64 xfce4-panel-4.18.6-1.fc40.x86_64 xfce4-power-manager-4.18.4-1.fc40.x86_64 xfce4-session-4.18.4-2.fc40.x86_64 xfce4-settings-4.18.6-1.fc40.x86_64 Still won't start startxfce4 with the same errors. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Many thanks, -T
