Could it be, that you're using a file manager other than Thunar, that
has got a "--no-desktop" option and you're running it without this
option?

We need to know more. What does the desktop look like?

Do you get a xfce4-panel?

What do the log files say?

~/.xsession-errors
/var/log/lightdm/

What window manger is running?

wmctrl -m

If you login, does the lightdm greeter allow you to chose a Xfce
session? Take a look at the top, there likely is a button to chose what
session should be executed.
