why duplicate the effort?  http://dev.gentoo.org/~bcowan/xfce-cvs/
remember to unmerge _all_ the non-cvs xfce packages first.  i don't 
believe the cvs ebuilds are blocked by them, but Weird Things[tm] will 
definitely happen if you try to install both stable and cvs into the 
same prefix.

just as a general note: these ebuilds are obviously not supported by 
gentoo, so don't file any bugs related to them on gentoo's bugzilla.  
also, if you have build problems using these, don't bug the other xfce 
devs; please take your problems to either bcowan or me.  if you're going 
to post to the ml, please at least state that you're using "bcowan's 
xfce-cvs ebuilds" or similar.

and be sure to thank bcowan for taking the time to put all those 
together ^_^.
