Yes, but xfce is a union of various xfce packages.  What does:

  guix package -I xfce

return?

It might be that, during the upgrade, =E2=80=98xfce-session=E2=80=99 ended =
up before
=E2=80=98xfce=E2=80=99 in the union, and so you end up running the =E2=80=
=9Cwrong=E2=80=9D =E2=80=98startxfce4=E2=80=99.
(This is pure speculation though, as I don=E2=80=99t use it myself.)

Thanks,
