I got it, that topic is closed. However I will go now outside topic to describe what happened next as it could be useful to some people. The original issue was my wrong understanding about two things, 'zsh emulate' and lightdm. That was corrected. But then I thought to myself that I still knew very little about lightdm, and wondered if there were simpler alternatives that were easier to fully grasp. After spending quite a few hours looking at all the console display managers listed in the Arch wiki [1], I felt no enthusiasm for any so decided to not use a display manager and instead use xinit. I followed the excellent instructions in the Arch wiki [2]. Now after I enter my user name and password at the console I am brought into Xfce, and if I log out from Xfce I come back to the console. I already converted two desktops and one laptop to this solution. I have been using this for a few days and all is well. For me one of the advantages of xinit over the console display managers is that xinit is much easier to grasp and configure. Moral of the story, I think xinit is underrated, and display managers are overrated! [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Display_manager#Console [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit
