xfce 4.2 Fedora Core 2 problem

[John Meadows]

Hi Brian:

Here is the trace. I believe my Core 2 had an older version of xfce 
installed when it was initially set up, (even though I tried it maybe 
once and went  back to the default Desktop). I am wondering ifd I should 
do another uninstall, and then try an RPM install?

Thanks for your help!

John
