spyros,

  1, Install the src.rpm (rpm -ivh xfce-3.8.16-2mdk.src.rpm).

  2. cd to /usr/src/<...>/SPECS (wherever Mandrake puts it).

  3. Edit the xfce.spec file -- in the configure section -- to add that
option.

  4. From within the SPEC/ directory, issue the command,
	rpm -ba xfce.spec
(that's the 'build all' switch). You can also specify the processor target
by adding -- between the '-ba' and 'xfce.spec' --target i686 or whatever is
appropriate.

  Then consider getting the 3.8.18 version and installing that. :-)

HTH,

Rich
