Everything seems to be working just fine.

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace *works* in the GDM login screen. Hence I did not try KDM.

This looks like an XFCE problem. Since WindowMaker doesn't really set 
anything unless I ask it to, I would imagine XFCE does something which 
persists even after I logout. And hence I can't use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace 
even in WindowMaker. Does that sound reasonable?
