I seem to have figured it out. It's not complaining about the file, it's 
complaining about gnome-config. Now, someone needs to rewrite that 
configure file so its errors make sense.
Now I wonder, why doesn't it say *anywhere* that xfce4 requires 
gnome-libs-devel? I'll install that and cross my fingers.

On a side note, I made a little error here as well, obviously libxfce4util 
installs just fine, it's libxfcegui4 that makes a mess of things, my 
mistake :o).
