Reopening this, because this commit breaks starting X from runlevel 3 for us
(Slackware).

GDM/KDM/other gui login managers have always been the only things that set
DESKTOP_SESSION, so we check to see if that's set to know whether we should
call "ck-launch-session xfce4-session" (runlevel 3) or just plain
"xfce4-session" (GDM/KDM/etcetera).

It seems that it would be better to export some other variable to know that
Xfce is the running session - for example, KDE uses KDE_FULL_SESSION or some
such.
