After running through the fedora news howto and also running into this 
problem i googled and found a solution.

Create a file called .Xclients-default in the home directory of the user 
you want to use XFCE as the default window manager and make the contents 
of the file simply:

startxfce4

save the file and make it executable: chmod +x .Xclients-default

log out and try logging back in using the 'default' session option.
