Yes, it was a pain in the butt, especially because I had to download 
everything at home, burn it on CD, take it to the lab, and install 
there. But it sure was worth the effort!

After I finally had everything compiled and installed, xfce4 refused to 
start, telling me something like
exec : which:  not found,
refering to /usr/local/etc/xfce4/xinitrc.
So I commented out the part that made it look for the xfce-session, 
which is not installed, and then it worked.
Finally a decent windowmanager at work! Thank you!
