i have and use easy debian. its great.

CUE:
maybe im missing something or a gtk package?

i did the xfce4 as you said - got as far a the same error as before.

i use xfce-session. didnt work untill i did xfce4-session BUT its now having a GTK issue...

gtk warning: cannot open display: 1
i tried many different combinations. i used --display alone and it kind of worked. had xfce is now starting image then a pop up but nothing more because it has no window to work in.....

as for why am i doing it? i really just want to see if it can be done. im so excited about what you done - devistated that its not working.

i did the 'xnest' example u supplied.. i got a window opened with a lot of black/white dots and an 'X' cursor but went no further. mouse worked..

i dont see how im doing it so wrong when "we" are all using the same software... maemo & easy debian.

im devistated...

Edit: xfce4-session --display=:0
that works but does not bring up a windows...
