Took a trip to pbone.net.  The FC15 rpm work fine.  Thank you!

Any chance of getting an official EL6 rpm for this?

Sorry, I have no idea about EL6.

Maybe you can use the packages from other Fedora repos. It could be
necessary to build them newly against the EL6 libraries, but dunno.

I mean this is the _fedora_ Xfce list so one must at least state the fact
that one is using something different.

The proper way to request a package is:
     1. Go to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/ and search for it.
        Make sure to click on "Packages" and not "Applications".
     2. If there is no branch for EPEL6 go to
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ and file a new bug in the Fedora
        product. Select the desired package as component and add a
        comment "Hey, can you please..."

Kind regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

It was my understanding that RHEL did not support Xfce at
all.  That you had to go to EPEL for the packages.  And
that the developers for those packages were on this list.
Am I wrong?

No, you are completely correct. EPEL is a community effort mainly
supported by Fedora contributors and if you need something for EPEL,
here or in Fedora's bugzilla is a good place to ask.

Odd.  My slide bar was bright green for a few days.  Now
it is black on gray.  Preferences says it is still green.
The rc file in panel says it is green too.

No big deal.  I can live without it.  Just thought it was odd.
