1) You could do a reinstall:
get the iso (debian-502a-i386-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso) from here
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.2a/i386/iso-cd/
2) to install xfce on your current system:
aptitude install xfce4
aptitude install xfce4-goodies
log out
at the login screen press F10 and select the "Select Session" option.
Xfce will be one of the options.
