Disabled XFCE Session Manager, now can't login

[Jay Mistry]

[SOLVED]

I could find the relevant XFCE4 System File. It is xfce4-session
located (in my case, openSUSE 11.1) at -
/home/(UserName)/.config/xfce4-session.

I changed the following values in that file (after logging in as
'root' through KDE 4.2)-

[General]
SaveOnExit=false ... (previously 'true')

[Chooser]
AlwaysDisplay=true ... (previous 'false')
