I'm switching to your repository for my xfce4.4 beta packages.  Left to 
my own devices, I removed all the xfce packages, setup your xfce44beta 
repo and tried to run:

# yum -y install xfce4* xfwm4* and had lots of dependency problems:

Error: Missing Dependency: libxfcegui4.so.3 is needed by package 
xfce4-mailwatch-plugin
Error: Missing Dependency: libxfcegui4.so.3 is needed by package 
xfce4-fsguard-plugin
...
Error: Missing Dependency: libxfce4util.so.1 is needed by package 
xfce4-minicmd-plugin
Error: Missing Dependency: libxfcegui4.so.3 is needed by package 
xfce4-weather-plugin

I then loaded the libraries using:

# yum -y install libxfce*

which gave me good stuff and no errors but still resulted in lots of 
dependency errors for the original command line.  How should we be 
"yumming" xfce4.4 beta onto our systems?

Thanks,
