I just reinstalled almalinux-9 after an selinux screw-up and cannot get
xfce to work. I've installed all the requisite packages, but the gdm
login screen no longer shows an option to select a different desktop
(i.e. no "gear" icon). I tried pointing ./xinitrc to "exec
/usr/bin/xfce4-session" but no joy. I installed the switchdesk package
and ran "switchdesk Xfce" program reports "Desktop now set up to run
xfce" but logout/login still comes up as the butt-ugly almalinux default
desktop.

Xfce worked fine on this machine prior to the reinstall. What am I missing?


I would expect that the system is coming up in Wayland versus X and so the xinitrc and switchdesk are not used.
