Another method which I have used in the past when all else fails
is to change the permissions and it has always worked.. 
chown user .xfce/* ...etc. has been successful ....or;
make sure all xfce/.xfce files and directories are moved out of 
your user/home directory and then try reinstalling the sourceforge rpm.

Let us know when you meet with success !!!
