task-xfce installed but need to login to xfce [solved]

[janasx1]

Hi All,
I installed task-xfce over my kde installation.
Previously I have done it and would be able to use xfce DE at the time of login.

Now, I dont see an option to get to xfce.

Can someone please let me know how to do this?
Thanks

Option 1: change Display Manager with PCC from KDM to GDM.  (is installed when installing Xfce 4.10 or install legacy-gdm)
Option 2: reinstall KDM/xfce4-session packages and look if it gives a XFCE  session entry.

It's known issue with KDM it does not always see a new installed desktop.
I guess you have installed/updated to KDE 4.9.2
