Problem xfce4

Question

Hi,
I've just installed archlinux and xfce4 but i can start graphic environment.
When I run startxfce4 it starts, the screen flashes and finally it goes black. I can see and move the cursor.
The solution in this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130981 didn't work for me... Or maybe I'm doing something wrong...
Help would be appreciated.

Here is my complete ".xinitrc" file:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
# for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
# [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
# done
# unset f
#fi
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
I launch dbus in the exec line so that automounting (with gvfs installed too!) will work properly.  I've commented out the auto-running bits as in my install they aren't needed.
Edit: Here's where I got that exec line from:

You also need "thunar-volman" for automounting to work properly.
