Long overdue, but now Xfce 4.2.4 has been updated to Xfce 4.4.2 in MacPorts. http://macports.org/ sudo port install xfce And now you can run Xfce in Darwin using X11, even full-screen if you like. --anders PS. Needed to patch Terminal/Thunar, since it was creating a never- ending symlink loop for /opt/local/bin/thunar -> Thunar (case-insensitive HFS+)
