Hey, Dave

Check out once you have /consolekit/ installed, then create a .xinitrc
file in your home folder, write there *startxfce4 --with-ck-launch* and
start your session with *xinit *command instead of *startx*.

You can also remove /systemd-shim /as well as /libsystemd0 /(it has some
dependencies, I use /gvfs /from wheezy).

Hope this helps,
