I copied all the xfce*.rpm files from CD4 to a directory and did an rpm 
-Uvh *.rpm to install XFce.  It installed fine and it now appears in the 
session menu.

However, when I run it, I get a message window that says:
"Your window manager does not seem to support the new window manager 
hints as defined on http:/www.freedesktop.org.  Some XFce features may 
not work as intended."

When I close it, the panels appear but I have a continuous hourglass 
cursor.  The cursor will open windows when clicking on icons, but 
obviously I'm missing something.

Any hints will be appreciated.
