I want to upgrade mostly because of XFCE 4.6. I wanted to get rid of

XFCE 4.6 would be available in F10 I would abandon all this jumping
through hoops right away. :)
You don't need to upgrade to try XFCE 4.6. I'm running XFCE 4.6 on an
F8 box. Just get the installer from the XFCE site and run it. You can
install in a local directory under your home directory, so it won't
touch anything else on your F10 system.
Then add the following it your .bash_profile :
PATH=$HOME/bin:$HOME/xfce4.6/bin:$PATH
Switch to run-level 3 and run "startxfce4" and you're there.
Hi John,
Do you have a link for the installer? I can't seem to find any from
xfce.org. I however found a mirror from a post at forum.xfce.org.
http://mocha.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.6.0/installers/
Are these the ones I should be downloading?
I don't remember exactly where I got the installer I used, but the link
you have looks OK. You might want to search for a 4.6.1 installer, but I
don't see one. Looks like I need to update. If I find anything, I'll
post it.
I found out the installers for 4.6.1 have not been packaged yet. :(

After installing the dependencies you had listed, there were few more
that I had to install. The installer still complains about libSM-devel
and libjpeg-devel despite those packages being installed.
yum list installed \*libSM\*
Installed Packages
libSM.x86_64 1.1.0-2.fc10 installed
libSM-devel.x86_64 1.1.0-2.fc10 installed
yum list installed \*libjpeg\*
Installed Packages
libjpeg.x86_64 6b-43.fc10 installed
libjpeg-devel.x86_64 6b-43.fc10 installed
Strange!
