sorry that I bring up this topic once again: why does yum install i386
packages on a x86_64 system during groupinstall?
# yum groupinstall XFCE

To me this looks like xfprint.i386 and Thunar.i386 are installed by
accident and then pull in the all the rest. Can anybody explain this to
me?
I don't think that this behavior is desired by 99 % of the users.
