I tried this, and I get the same result as you. Just running 'startx' by
itself brings up the xfce4 desktop (which is blue). I tried changing the
session manager with

    # update-alternatives --config x-session-manager

but all three choices were xfce4. So I then removed xfce4-session which
pulled a few other things out with it. There are no longer any choices for
x-session-manager and running 'startx' starts fluxbox.

I did not do anything with other files such as .xinitrc or .xsession.

I tried running 'startxfce4' but that command is gone. If I re-enable
slim, it logs me into fluxbox, and F1 shows no other session choices but
fluxbox.
