Patrick,

  Son-of-a-gun! That was it, all right. Didn't occur to me to change
--prefix= in the spec file.

  I just moved /usr/bin/xf* to /usr/local/bin/ and restarted xfce. Problem
solved!

  My preference is to keep every user/local application in either /usr/local
or /opt. That way an upgrade has less chance of trashing what we use.
 
Many thanks! This is a keeper.
