Installation Q: xfce 4.3x on a Debian Sarge Stable?
(progress: do not wish it to be too Stable :)

Anyone have some straightforward info on getting the right files and libraries (at one place) for installing the downloadable xfce 4.3x onto such a system, maybe even pkgs that work?

Take a careful look at this os-cillation page (as of 18:00 EST 12/28/2006).
Is it really such a "fresh link" ??
For one, the Requirements listed here are certainly not the only requirements.

Looks like the installer at this site is really an older 4.2x one?
Perhaps you are thinking of the installer at  http://www.us.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.3.99.2/installers/xfce4-4.4RC2-installer.run, yes?

I somehow highly doubt that anyone has sucessfully used the xfce4-4.4RC2 graphic installer specifically and explicitly following the directions at the above "fresh-link" using an updated Sarge system (apt-get, ...).  Review this os-cillation page again and then go through the referred-to and more obscure http://www.xfce.org/documentation/installers/xfce/ that I originally quoted.  
Similar to http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=2849.0 maybe??
