OK. So downloaded from
https://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/22.04/release/ the file
xubuntu-22.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso

I eventually booted it from a Ventoy stick. I found out that the live image
has a user ID of xubuntu and a blank password. So, after some
experimentation, I found out how to set the system to use either Xfce
session or Xubuntu and didn't notice any differences in the environment
variables, using this command:
clear; printenv | sort

HTH,


Ian
