DJ,

You didn't really provide many details...

do you have xfce4 installed already?

yes

do you boot to a grpahical login prompt, or tot he console login prompt?

graphical (KDE/SuSE) login prompt

When you say make it the only desktop on the manchine do you mean to
remove kde / gnome / all the others that are installed?  That really
isn't necessary.

I am halfway there, I think.  Somehow, when thrying to install the new KDE so I could use the new KOffice setup, I lost the ability to log on with either the gnome or the KDE desktop.  The startxfce option has left the menu of desktops accessible from the graphical prompt. I am now using fvwm.  I don't want to reinstall if I can help it.
