So it's "Use GNOME or see figure.1."
Did that zeitgeist lead to the demise of VMS?

Fortunately there is a way to use Xfce on Fedora.
Install the GNOME based creative and development
workstation, update, and then install Xfce alongside
GNOME.  This breaks lp and lpr, but enscript works.
Getting TigerVNC to run Xfce takes a bit of hacking
in .vnc but it can be done.
