You could also use the Gnome Display Manager (GDM) or Kde Display Manager (KDM). I would suggest XDM or GDM over KDM only because KDE apps including KDM will look some what out of place in and around XFCE. The Gnome apps and GTK in general will look more native in and around XFCE.
I guess XDM will also look out of place and problem about GDM is that it'll install lot of gnome ports. The most suitable login manager according to me is SLIM, I'll try changing its theme as ninjstux suggested.
