Ok, I missed that.
Anyway, I can't find anything wrong with it now. Since I uninstalled XFCE from 
my system, the system starts fine again. It's still mystery why though.

Somehow the XFCE installation overruled the prefdm and Xclients settings. The 
settings in there where fine, but not executed I think. Once I removed XFCE, 
things just started working again. I didn't have to change any file, just 
remove the XFCE RPMs.
