What I did (this was a build from CVS) was create a symlink from startxfce4 
to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFce4, then added XFce4 to the session list in the KDE 
Control Center (System Administration -> Login Manager -> Administrator Mode 
 -> Sessions).  KDM doesn't automatically add window managers to the list 
when they get installed.
