Chuck was kind enough to work with me a couple evenings ago on
this (I've been running xfce, v.3.8.18 everywhere I admin,
already);  It builds and installs cleanly on cAos-1, and will
be present in cAos generally, and as an add-on to CentOS as
well.

Integration into the WM chooser logic still needs to happen 
for the DM choice, and some initial default setup code is 
needed, but these are straightforward tasks.
