[...is] the X server log. nothing to do with xfce. it's written dirctly by /usr/bin/X (or maybe the wrapper scripts around X) when X starts up, even before the display manager (gdm, lightdm, etc) is started.
\begin{pedant} At least xdm starts *before* the X server. It's xdm that *starts* the X server. I assume this also applies to fancier DMs, though obviously the "greeter" GUI bits can't attach to the X server until it's up. \end{pedant}
