are you sure you haven't restarted your pc or kdm after xfce installtion?
normally the programs are then exported to PATH= and then it should work

startxfce4 was in the $PATH, and KDM didn't show it in the sessions menu. Wen I wrote the absolute pth, then it appeared. I also have, by default, an absolute PATH in the KDE session file.

hi i cannot confirm the issue, installed xfce4 fine and it does show up.
/etc/X11/sessions/
there is also a file for xfce try to set this to full path if this helps this bug should be assinged to xfce packagers.

gnome and KDE use the full paths also, so I think XFCE should do this also.
