Hello friend, to use XPde follow my rules:

!!! Come installare XPDE by REY22 !!!

1) Extract all files in your home directory
tar xvzf xpdeXXXXXXX.tar.gz
1) Create a folder XPde under /usr/local/bin as root
mkdir /usr/local/bin/XPde
2) Copy the content of the directory on your home directory to /usr/local/bin/XPde
cp -R ./XPdeXXXXX /usr/local/bin/XPde
3) Execute the install script
./install.sh
4) As a normal user, execute the setup.sh script
./setup.sh
5) Now rename the file xinitrcDEFAULT in your directory to .xsession

6) Logout and re-login choosing the PREDEFINED ambient (you'll be in XPDE)

OSS: I don't know how to add the voice in KDM "XPde", but loading the default windows manager will load XPde (as said)

Sorry for my englis,
PEACE by REY22

It works with XPde 0.4.2
For XPde 0.5 I think you should copy the files in the directory of v 0.4.2... but then you can't change the theme.. and so it is useless

XPDE is a little bit BUGGY :(

A bit?!!! It has a ways to go yet before you can even call it a DE! Development on this project seems to be taking forever!
