U need to put a .desktop entry for it on /usr/share/xsessions
just create a file to start it (use the KDE/GNOME one present there as a template)

With the GNOME themes tool.

sorry about the title i was irritated

anyways i checked that path and all the files are there??
is there a file that i can just manually edit to switch the desktops?

U have a XFCE4 entry in that folder?
to edit a .desktop file just rename it (take out .desktop) and edit
it with a text editor.

Now to set it as default, if you are using GDM it has a tool to do that,
if yor are using kdm it will log you in the previous DE/WM choosed by you.
