Well, the same way you built xfce, if you built it.  If you installed 
from binary , you may already have it.  Try xfce4-session at the command 
line and if you don't get a command not found, you're in business. If 
you did build from source, cd to the xfce build dir and then to 
xfce-session source directory.  ./configure ... install and away you go. 
Then you can start xfce with startxfce4 script which uses the session 
manager.  Once session manager is running, you can use it to control the 
confirmation prompt.  As Andrew Conkling wrote:

Found in the desktop context menu. To make CTRL-ALT-DEL the shortcut to 
logout, assign it to xfce4-session-logout.

Hopefully this isn't the blind leading the blind.
