The idea behind all this is to make sure that at least one windowmanager (it
does not really matter which one) is installed, so that VNC can work.
The code doing it goes back to the times of SLES8 when KDE and fvwm2 were the
only available windowmanagers on the platform. So logically, if one did not
have KDE, YaST suggested to install fvwm2. The code has been adapted to be
KDE4-aware (see bug #381708), but it is not perfect, because it does not take
GNOME, icewm, Windowmaker,... into account.
Unfortunately, not all windowmanager packages have 'windowmanager' string in
their RPM Provides: e.g. kdebase3 has it, while your Xfce does not. If they
had, it'd be all much easier
