I've found that, for some unknown reason, starting xfce from kdm causes multimedia problems (gcombust slows to a crawl, and a sound file editor I'm using won't playback properly). When I switch to runlevel 3 and run startxfce, everything works swimingly ('cept permissions on /dev/dsp). I'd recommend switching to runlevel 3 and running startxcfe to make sure you get a pristine xfce environment.
