If not, and you don't mind GDM then try this: Compile options for XFce: (these are mine, the important ones refer to GDM) ./configure --disable-dt --enable-gtk-engines=/usr/lib/gtk/themes/engines \--enable-xft --enable-gdm --with-gdm-prefix=/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions \--enable-arts=yes && \ make && \ make install Switching from KDM to using GDM as a graphical login Open the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop in your favorite editor and change DESKTOP="KDE" to read DESKTOP="GNOME", then restart X and you should be looking at GDM - select XFce from the menu after entering your username but before you add your password (in case you're like me and habitually hit enter as soon as the password is there ;-) and you're good to go.
