After an email with and xfce person I realized that the real grave bug is that gdm is launching gnome-settings-daemon in an xfce session, which is what blocks xfce from loading. That's a gdm bug so I have cloned this bug and assigned it to gdm. The bug as far as aptitude is concerned can probably be downgraded. Thanks for your quick reply btw.
