I use the following ./configure options to build my Xfce
in /home/enrico/apps/xfce-svn:

for libxfcegui4:
--with-libglade-module-path=$prefix/libglade/2.0/

for xfce-utils:
--with-xsession-prefix=$prefix

$prefix is:
prefix="/home/enrico/apps/xfce-svn"

And to get the libxfce4gui stuff working when running, you need to make
the LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH public, the following is a snippet from my
~/.bashrc:

# for libxfcegui4
export LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH=/home/enrico/apps/xfce-svn/libglade/2.0/:
$LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH


Not really convenient but at least it works.

HTH,
Enrico
