Installing xterm doesn't work. Apparently, for many of these X-based
tools, nobody thought to include X as a dependency.
$ sudo yum install xterm

Complete!
Xfce Desktop still pulls a bunch of multimedia and such.
I have it at least partially working by installing xorg-x11-xinit, which
pulled in a few other packages, and adding PackageKit-gtk3-module by
hand.
Thanks, though.
