On thinking about what I wrote, I realize I didn't request what I really
wanted, which is for XFCE to be an option in KDM no matter which user
wants to login. 

/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/sessions/xfce.desktop exists, executable, and
about 4K. I have no idea whether anything needs doing to it to use it.
What needs to be done to put xfce into KDM?
http://www.xfce.org/index.php?page=documentation&lang=en doesn't seem to
even touch this subject.
