To your information:

I just tried out of despair something weird and started my X-Server by 
the /etc/ttys-file and a reboot. Logging iin as root worked as it did 
before but to my astonishment it worked logging in as a user too. So I 
now have a working Xfce environment on my other machine too. There is no 
need to think about it anymore. I'm just curious why it didn't work the 
other way round.
So, happy weekend for all of you and a big "Thank you" to all who let 
work their mind to help me.

Greetings Frank
