Well my old brain is failing me as to the exact method of how I did this
now.  However I do remember trying several different approaches to
getting XFce into the gdm sessions dialogue.  I *thought* that the one
that worked is the method you are posting.  Having said that I went back
and looked at the files I have in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions and I see I put
a shell script called XFce4 which contains:

#!/bin/sh
########################################################################
#
# XFce 4file for GDM.  Usually in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions.
#
# Add support for XIM; Modified by Babyfai Cheung.  2002/03/10
########################################################################
## Launch an XIM input server if needed
 
# This's for RedHat and Slackware
for i in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* ; do
    if [ -x "$i" ]; then
        . "$i"
    fi
done
 
# This's for Mandrake
if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/XIM ]; then
   . /etc/X11/xinit/XIM
fi
 
exec /usr/bin/startxfce4
######################################################################

and I have a txt file called XFce4.desktop which contains:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XFce
Comment=XFce
Exec=/usr/bin/startxfce4
Icon=
Type=Application

I forget how I did all this now, but this may help you.  Sorry :)
