XFCE in Fedora missing session manager

[Christopher Trumbour]

This should be a really quick question.  It's not support, it's curiousity.
Apparently, the session mamger in XFCE is missing in the build provided 
in Fedora Core 5.  This is really wierd... I mean, the link to its 
section in the XFCE manual is still there, only it gives a 404 error.  I 
found this out while I had to temporarily go to XFCE from GNOME when 
GNOME unexpectedly blew my settings up. So, why is it removed?
Greets,

Oh? Missing where? The package is still there and available as far as
I can see.

It shouldn't be.

Can you provide a link or step by step instructions to get to the
place where you see it missing? Which XFCE manual? URL?

It's not in the Core distro anymore.  It was moved to Extras at some
point.  It's still in Fedora, just not in the CD distro.
