I solved my issue by removing all my $HOME (moved to another location).

I tried because I noticed things went well for a guest user: the XFCE 
session started normally.

The guest user is created on the fly, with a clear $HOME, so I decided 
to give the try to my account with a clear $HOME. It worked.

Now, let's copy all the other directories...
