As previously stated I have been using tarballs for many years, 
perhaps since the late 1970s. I have been compiling programs 
since 1968. But today I expect a program package to be contained 
in one package and compilable with one command or a few 
commands, as previously indicated. For example I update and 
recompile Scribus svn nightly, using a brief script. That is not the 
case with XFCE.  I understand that the individual components can 
be compiled separately.  I am concerned that such piecemeal 
compilation would create conflicts with components not yet 
recompiled. If you can assure me that such conflicts won't happen 
between 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 I will proceed with the bits and pieces as 
time permits.
