I gather you have both Mate and Xfce installed.

You can pick the default desktop environment from the login manager (probably mdm) at the login window.
If you're using auto-login, logout (not reboot) and you'll get the window.
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!
Your data and OS are backed up....right?
