AFAIK, there's no really clear way. You can "ps ax | grep dm | grep
sess" and sort it out that way:

        [rick@prophead ~]$ ps ax | grep dm | grep sess
         1923 ?        Sl     0:00 lightdm --session-child 12 19

Assuming you're starting the GUI from systemd startup, you can find
which is used by default by doing something like:

        [root@prophead ~]# ls -l /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
        lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 39 Oct 17  2016
/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service ->
/usr/lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service

So by default, systemd will spin up the lightdm display manager. I think
that's set up by a scriptlet when you install XFCE but I won't swear to
it.

XFCE uses lightdm by default. You can use others if you wish.
