Hey, For Xfce on Solaris 8, 9, & 10, I would suggest you use the blastwave packages (Note: They are built for Solaris 8 - no DBUS, HAL etc). For Solaris Express >= build 61, there is now a Xfce (+extras) binary release for x86 hardware (sorry no SPARC yet) on the Open Solaris Xfce project site. Anywhere in between, you should build from the spec files.
To add something like Xfce to Solaris Express would mean that it will need to go through ARC and Sun's Marketing and Legal Departments. You have to remember that Solaris Express is a Sun distribution. Other distros can easily include it if they wish. May be a compromise would be to include a nice script to do the download and install of Xfce (or KDE) after the install. A semi-automated compiz+Xfce+KDE (JDS CBE and SFE...) script would be nice.
