I found your message amusing and informative.
I ran the command: yum groupinstall "xfce"
You ran the command: yum -y group install Xfce

Now one question would be why did you use the yum argument: group
install when the man page says the argument is groupinstall.
The groups name is xfce but you used Xfce

Why did you think your command would work? Now for the amusing part. I
executed your form of the command and magically I now have a entry for
xfce in the session window.
