Indeed. ;) 

I am looking at doing so now...

Seconded. Please report problems with the Fedora Xfce packages via
bugzilla at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ 

I am on this mailing list, but I'm not reading it as often as my
bugzilla email. ;) 

BTW, this bug has been reported twice there: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225194
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225135

I hope to push out a fixed package soon.
