XFCE 4

[Aly Dharshi]

Andy,

	I believe that doing the compile of XFce from sprms is trivial, I 
suggest that you look up the rpmbuild command, and I think that you will 
find that rpmbuild --rebuild mysrcrpm.src.rpm is what you have to issue 
to get things to fly or get the ball rolling.

	I think that on XFce's site there are build instructions. I mean the 
order, I have put the latest XFce rpms on 
http://www3.telus.net/~dharsha4 if you want them. I compiled them on FC2 
so if you have FC2 then have fun !

	Cheers,

	Aly.
