Hi

I also have had success with 4.6 (with fc10.x86_64)

xfce4-4.6-installer.run
xfce-goodies-4.6-installer.run

Only a couple of optional things I couldn't find
----------------------------------------
jpeg library	(libjpeg62-dev ?)

I have these jpeg type things

meon ~ 1002# rpm -qa|grep -i jpeg
libjpeg-static-6b-43.fc10.x86_64
libjpeg-6b-43.fc10.x86_64
libjpeg-6b-43.fc10.i386
openjpeg-devel-1.3-2.fc9.x86_64
openjpeg-libs-1.3-2.fc9.x86_64
libjpeg-devel-6b-43.fc10.x86_64
----------------------------------------
and in goodies
No mpd Library

[root at meon XFCE]# rpm -qa|grep -i mpd
mpd-0.14-4.fc10.x86_64
libmpd-0.16.1-1.fc10.x86_64
libmpd-devel-0.16.1-1.fc10.x86_64

I've had a google around but its not obvious to me
what is required

Any idea where to find the extra bits?
Do I really need them?
