A basic xfce4 desktop is available on piCore64 16.x
Load the Xorg-3d and xfce4-session extensions and issue the "startx" command.
It should also be possible to use "dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 startxfce4" (I haven't tried).
It is also possible to run xfce4 with labwc in a wayland session with "sudo -- seatd -g staff -n /run/seatd.sock & XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1001 startxfce4 --wayland"
Apparently the xfce people are going to create their own wayland compositor, xfwl4.
