Closing log file. Which results in the expected X windows system til I exited. or 2) install everything in Xfce in which case startx starts the xfce4 desktop. Since I'm happy with xfce4, thats my solution. However it appears to me that there is a dependency missing in xorg-server as it doesn't appear to load enough to make X actually work. From the error messages it looks to to be in winClipboardProc since that seems to be where the error occurs, but I have no idea where winClipboardProc is in the mass of packages in X11.
