Hi All,
I have both MATE and Xfce installed. If I boot
into MATE, such that Xfce is not running, or not
start a GUI at all, how do I do a group reinstall
of Xfce?
Many thanks,

Follow up:
Apparently, Xfce was never installed with a group
install years ago.
# dnf group remove 'Xfce Desktop'
Warning: Module or Group 'Xfce Desktop' is not installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete
So I removed the xfce4 programs one at a time and then
did a group install.
The problem I was trying to correct got corrected
(krusader requiring that I press "end" to get a
rename to take place) was fixed and Xfce itself
was snappier too. I did this from MATE.
Thank you all for the help and tips!
Here are my Xfce group install/remove notes:

Note: there is no group reinstall. You have to do a two step remove and
install. See remove note below.
List:
# dnf group list | grep -i xfce
Xfce Desktop
Remove:
Warning: removed lightdm-gtk and way more things than just Xfce!!
Consider looking for `xfce4` packages and removing them
individually:
$ rpm -qa xfce4\*
# dnf remove xfce4_package(s)
Get out of Xfce. MATE works for this. Also `init 3` and `xinit -- :0`
for command line only.
# dnf groupremove 'Xfce Desktop'
# dnf remove @xfce-desktop-environment
Install:
# dnf group install 'Xfce Desktop'
# dnf install @xfce-desktop-environment
