the biggest one is that if you install it you get twm as the window

Maybe we should just call it the Fedora TWM spin. ;)
Well, if you boot it as a live cd or in USB, you will get Xfce. Post
installation, it defaults to TWM which is think is a bug somewhere since
/etc/sysconfig/desktop just disappears. Also /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
probably should not hard core the logic it does. I have the kickstart
file at
http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/livecd-fedora-8-xfce.ks
Any help is welcome.
I'm confused with the EOF's you're using.
It seems you want /etc/rc.d/init.d/fedora-live to have:
cat > /etc/sysconfig/desktop <<ANOTHEREOF
PREFERRED=/usr/bin/startxfce4
ANOTHEREOF
wrapped within the entire %post's cat << EOF, right?
Attached a .ks with a more distinctive clarification of the point I'm
trying to make but I'm not sure it does what you want it to do.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
