In a new install of Centos 8, I installed the xfce4 packages from EPEL.

I log out and try to use XFCE4 at log in. I cannot find a way to choose
it. I was guessing this would be like Centos 7. On the display manager,
after I put in my user name, there is the little * by the password. When I
do that, I see choices with names like
Wayland
Classic
X11
but I don't see XFCE4 session or similar.
I am guessing I missed an XFCE4 package from EPEL?

What appears in that list is controlled by .desktop files dropped into
/usr/share/xsessions. For XFCE this is:
/usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop
provided by xfce4-session - which you have. So, I'm not sure what is
up. Perhaps need a reboot? I presume this is with gdm?
