failing to start xfce4 with a Termux:Widget shortcut

[turbid crescent]

I made a script using Termux:Widget to start an xfce4 session, but it simply says, "Unable to contact settings server
could not connect: Connection refused"

What's weird is that sourcing the script manually in termux works just fine without any problems.

here's the script:

#!/bin/bash

termux-x11 -xstartup "proot-distro login archlinux --user tarek --shared-tmp -- bash -c \"DISPLAY=:0 dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4\""

I have xorg and xfce4 installed in an arch linux proot.

Here it is working when sourcing the script

does termux stay open after you run the script?
try removing/changing the shebang #!/bin/bash

Yes, when running the script by sourcing it termux does stay open.

I'll try that, thanks for the help.
