I've been using it for. . . seems like ages now, always the
same compile routine. get my update from cvs and type:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr  (that's just where I like it,
think the default is /usr/local)
make
make install

the ./autogen.sh runs the configure. You do need the all
the ingredients to make a proper Xfce4 setup, but they all
compile the same way for me.
