Hi!

I've just installed XFce4 through rpms (from xfce.org) and have the same
problem.
I found a way to make it work but it's no solution. During login, choose
Failsafe Terminal from session menu. This will log you in only with a
xterm window. In xterm execute: /usr/bin/startxfce4.
This will start XFCE, but you can never close the first xterm because it
will log you out.

Hoping to get a xfce freshrpm soon.
