When I login into X from gdm I get XFCE, but when i login via startx at
the commandline prompt I get gnome, how do I change startx to do the
same as gdm ? or atleast to set it to xfce

typically i found the answer after posting to the list.
i updated
update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
to xfce, can this be set on a user by user basis ?

Try startxfce (or maybe startxfce4).

Create a shell script .xsession in your home directory. Put whatever you
like in it, gnome-session or xfce-session. It will be executed whenever
you do 'startx'. When logging in from gdm select 'User Session' or
'XClient script' (whichever is present) and choose to make it the
default option if you like.

The Window Manager Tweaks application is xfwm4-tweaks-settings.
The command to turn off display compositing is: xfconf-query --channel=xfwm4 --property=/general/use_compositing --set=false
To turn it back on: xfconf-query --channel=xfwm4 --property=/general/use_compositing --set=true

Thank You Vincent,
may be by any chance you know how to do the same for xubuntu 7.10.? It appears to be some difference. For instance, there is no xfconf command in ver.7.10.

Sorry Alex, xfconf was introduced in 9.04, I can't remember what it was like before that, but it's probably in some config file in ~/.config.
However, I should also point out that 7.10 is no longer supported (i.e. doesn't receive security updates), thus it is highly recommended that you upgrade to a newer, supported version of Xubuntu. such as 9.10. Alternatively, if you wait two months, in April version 10.04 will be released with long term support, meaning it will receive updates for three years after its release.
Best,
