I got the gui to work the first time i installed linux and then i set vsftpd to start up on boot and snice then the gui will not start. I even disabled it from the setup command but still will not start. Everytime i run startx it gives me this.

i am a newbie too but...
How many font paths do you have in your /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 ???
seems like the font server was not working and there was no 'back-up' font paths aviable.
