Maybe the kde sessions is remembering xfce, so you could run "ps -e | 
less" in an xterm and find all the xfce4 related stuff and "kill pid" 
(pid being process ID) to kill the processes, then exit kde. Probably 
when you restart kde it will be ok. Either that or perhaps xfce 
installed an .xinitrc file in your home directory. Do other users on 
that machine have the same problem?
