Hi,

If he made a standard Slackware package with xfce 3 and, xfce 4.
The standard for Slack is.
./configure --prefix=/usr && make

I did not catch all of this but, if files have the same name it could
be trouble.
I am not trying to make trouble and I may be wrong about the issue at
hand. Just letting you know.
