Xfce won't start

Hi,

As the title say: xfce won’t start

It worked before the last 3 updates.
There are no errors in the Xorg.0.log.
I’ve been investigating this for some time now and I don’t know where to look for the problem.

I can log into the terminal but when I startx, I get a blank screen and then the prompt returns.

The output on the terminal states:

`waiting for X server to shut down (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

my .xinitrc
	#!/bin/sh

	#
	# ~/.xinitrc
	#
	# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
	#

	export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"

	DEFAULT_SESSION=xfce4-session

	userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
	usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
	sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
	sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

	# merge in defaults and keymaps

	if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
		xrdb -merge $sysresources
	fi

	if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
		xmodmap $sysmodmap
	fi

	if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
		xrdb -merge "$userresources"
	fi

	if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
		xmodmap "$usermodmap"
	fi

	# start some nice programs

	if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
		for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
			[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
		done
		unset f
	fi

	get_session(){
		local dbus_args=(--sh-syntax --exit-with-session)
		case "$1" in
			xfce) dbus_args+=(xfce4-session) ;;
			openbox) dbus_args+=(openbox-session) ;;
			*) dbus_args+=("$1") ;;
		esac

		echo "dbus-launch ${dbus_args[*]}"
	}

	exec $(get_session "$1")

	#case $1 in
	#  xfce) exec dbus-launch xfce4-session ;;
	#  openbox) exec dbus-launch openbox-session ;;
	#  *) exec dbus-launch  $DEFAULT_SESSION ;;
	#esac
