Greetings Paul. 

I am the Xfce maintainer in extras. :) 

I haven't pushed Xfce4.4b1 into rawhide yet. The issue being that Xfce
isn't on a time based release schedule. It's ready when it's ready. I
don't want to push 4.4beta in now only to have 4.4 final not out by
the time FC6 is released. That would have us shipping a beta in a
release branch. ;( 

There is rumblings on the Xfce lists that 4.4beta2 might come out this
coming weekend. After that they typically do a rc1 and rc2 release
before final. I will probibly push rc1 or rc2 into devel once it's
out. 

In the short term tho I am looking at pushing out a new version of exo
and Terminal. Those packages are pretty self contained, and the new
exo is needed for Thunar (the filemanager in 4.4). 

If you are interested in testing those out you can grab some rpms
