My post is a bug report with a *partial* fix. Not relevent if you are
not building rpms.

You need to build and install libxfcegui4 and libxfce4mcs before
building either xfce4 or xfwm4. The error here is that pkg-config cannot
find the .po files that define libxfcegui4 and libxfce4mcs. You need to
either set a PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable or install the
libraries where pkg-config can find them. On Red Hat this can be done by
doing a ./configure --prefix=/usr
