You could try downloading the graphical installer fro, xfce.org and using that.

I did that for Ubuntu and was happy to see that Xfce 4.6 integrates really well with Ubuntu when built without Ubuntu-specific customisations.

I'm giving it a whirl on my F10 install using the GUI installer. If anyone else wants to try it, here's a command to install the majority (if not all) of the development packages for the mandatory, optional, and goody items.
Code:

su -
<root passwd>
yum install -y glib2-devel gtk2-devel libglade2-devel vte-devel libwnck-devel libXres-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel gstreamer-devel libSM-devel libnotify-devel GConf2-devel hal-devel dbus-glib-devel libXdamage-devel libxklavier-devel libjpeg-devel hal-devel dbus-glib-devel perl-XML-Parser intltool pcre-devel librsvg2-devel librsvg2-devel gnutls-devel libexif-devel libburn-devel libisofs-devel libsexy-devel libmpd-devel

Hopefully this will at least give you a short-cut. I already had some of the necessary development stuff installed, such as gcc, so such items may be missing from your system.
&#160; &#160;  One thing to note, if you simply go though the GUI to pick off the dependencies, you'll find a dependency on libwnck. The installer doesn't detect libwnck-devel as installed until libXres-devel is installed as well. That was a fun one to track down

You don't need gconf2 (GNOME configuration database system) to compile and install Xfce.

If you're referring to the GConf2-devel package mentioned (libgconf2-dev on my Debian box) then yes, I believe it is indeed needed to compile and install Xfce.

No!
