It was a cock up with the updates, specifically polkit. All the updates where up to date last night when I wrote looking for help. I checked xsession-errors and found that Xfce couldn't find polkit-gobject-1. Update this morning brought in polkit along with other files. Reboot and it is fine. Must be that I ran the updates just when files were moving from experimental to testing. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Craig,
Thanks.
Where do I start debugging this one? Beats me right now.

Google is not very helpful here. But at least I have something to look at.
if there are errors while X is starting up, they'll be in here. Look especially for lines with "(EE)" (errors) and maybe also "(WW)" (warnings).
~/.xsession-errors
As you said far too much noise and not enough signal there been scrolling for 10 minutes and still running mostly seems to be font config and firefox errors.
