xfwm4 has always started for me.

Was this the first time that you had installed xfce4 that xfwm4 didn't
start?
If not did you upgrade from a previous version of xfce4/xfwm4?  Which?

How did you start it?  (gdm, kdm, xdm or something like startx etc)

Can you give me the results of:
ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager

If you have a .config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc please send it to
this bug report likewise please send your
/etc/xdg/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc 

Is it possible that somehow you managed to save the session without the
window manager running?

Is there anything strange about your system that you should tell us?

Simon.
