I see no reason to install the packages 1 by 1 unless you _only_ want
specific packages. If you want all of Xfce then I would recommend
'emerge -av xfce4'.

This is correct. Hopefully older GTK applications will convert to GTK2
soon so we can only have one installed but for now, both are most likely
required.

I'll have a nice sunny day in Canada, thanks. :)
