Description nick 2010-11-16 10:36:49 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

The desktop file xfce4.desktop in kdebase/workspace/kdm/kfrontend/sessions/ should use the name "Name=Xfce 4". In fact, I don't understand why KDE ships this file, it might be better if we install it ourselves.

Reproducible: Didn't try

in theory you are right and you should provide your own .desktop file. in practice i don't expect every project to hook into kdm (and gdm if they didn't deviate from the agreement), so i'd leave it to distributors to put the file in the right package.
