xfce needs to be started with ( if I remember ) startxfce4, the screenshot shows the twm window manager which is the default.
see here:

Had this a few times when i used to use xfce found that just unplugging the mouse and plugging back in fixed, it was quite random never did track down the bug.
P.S.
mouse was usb.

Bash prompt shows you are missing bash files at top of blfs book. That will throw a wrench into anything built in blfs. Also you are on a VM. Looks like ya dont have the kernel configured for a vbox VM to me.
