Hi there. I'm the Xfce maintainer for fedora extras.

Just worth noting here (as my reply to Paul in the fedora beta list)
that I do have Xfce4.4b2 (and now rc1) rpms available for testing.

For your /etc/yum.repos.d/xfcebeta.repo file:

[xfce44beta]
name=Xfce 4.4 rc1
baseurl=http://www.scrye.com/xfce-4.4rc1/development/RPMS
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

(I will have fc5 packages available in the next few days)
Any feedback appreciated.
