You left out the details of what you actually did.  Should we guess?  :)

My guess is: you ran "startx".  That starts a session as the user that runs "startx"

Excuse me, but there's no need for insults. You know perfectly well that I'm a professional sysadmin, and that I've been here for years.

It's a Netbook. I yum groupinstalled xfce, created an /etc/sysconfig/desktop, added a line in /etc/X11/prefdm to include xfce, copying one of the other lines, and rebooted. It came in in runlevel 5, no login.

In other words, what I'd do with any other display manager.

Instead, you should be booting the graphical target (edit /etc/inittab to change the default on C6; use "systemctl set-default graphical.target" on C7).  You can select what session you'd like to run from the login screen, before you enter your password.

In the future, please be specific about what you've done when asking what you've done wrong.  :)
