============================
You can't run the command from a desktop already running a wm.  At
login time choose "failsafe terminal".  When it opens type "startxfce4
&" (w/o the quotes) and then minimize (do NOT close) the terminal. 
You should now be in an xfce session.  Read the documentation to add
xfce to the menu, or run switchdesk utility.
