Rosemary, I too am having problems trying to install the SoS Xfce. Looks like 
dependency hell to me. I have added the SoS Xfce source, and I have never had 
any version of Xfce installed on this Mandriva 2005 system.
Just wanted to let you know that you aren't the only one to have such trouble.
I thought I would give Xfce another look. I tried it several versions back, and 
couldn't quite get the hang of it.
Thus far, the SoS version hasn't changed my opinion. ;-)

Best regards.
