Humm....that worked for me:


firefly ~ # which startxfce4
/usr/bin/startxfce4
firefly ~ # equery belongs /usr/bin/startxfce4
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/startxfce4 in *... ]
xfce-base/xfce-utils-4.6.1 (/usr/bin/startxfce4)
firefly ~ #

mark@firefly ~ $ cat .xinitrc
exec startxfce4
mark@firefly ~ $

Do and emerge -pvDuN @world/revdep-rebuild -ip  and make sure you are
really clean. It should work but the info above should allow oyu to
get it running.

I didn't need to do anything special here.

Hope this helps,
