The *.desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/ is removed in the PKGBUILD:

rm -rf "${pkgdir}/usr/share/xsessions"

IMHO this should not be removed from the package because it allows to start XBMC directly from the display manager. This makes sense if:
1. you are running a simple HTPC without a desktop environment
2. you want XBMC to run as its own user
3. you are running a compositing window manager (Compiz etc.). XBMC afaik still has some problems when running on top of those (graphic glitches, vsync etc.). Running XBMC standalone directly from the DM fixes this.
This task depends upon
