Thanks. I followed this to: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/

And could not find any of the following:

No package xfce-utils available.
No package NetworkManager-gnome available.
No package leafpad available.
No package xfce4-icon-theme available.
Package xfce4-mixer is obsoleted by xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, trying to install xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.2.4-4.el7.x86_64 instead
No package xfwm4-theme-nodoka available.

So it would appear that an Xfce desktop install is 'broken' for some level of brokeness for Centos7.

But interestingly, NetworkManager-gnome is not used by gnome. It has a bunch of other NetworkManager rpms. I also checked Fedora 21 and 24 and their Xfce desktop does not list NetworkManager-gnome when I do a group info xfce. So there is something wrong in the packaging of the xfce group in Centos7-x64 that Scott provided me...

Xfce is provided by EPEL:

https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2017-May/164858.html

I missed that your two emails pointed to different urls. Thanks. But...

Enabling epel does not provide an Xfce group.
Enabling epel does not give me the missing rpms. It does provide both mixer and pulseaudio-plugin, but not the others.

So Xfce is still broken at some level of brokeness with C7.

On my rather basic C7 system with epel enabled, I don't see any problems.

    # yum groupinstall "Xfce"
    ...
    Install  20 Packages (+193 Dependent packages)

It did not give any errors and the install list does not mention any of the missing packages that you list above. It works fine with C7. There must be some difference with your system.

The group is not on my system. I am using ClearOS' version of the Centos repos, so not necessarily a surprise. And all my other servers are Centos7-armv7hl, also with no Xfce group. But the armv7hl repos have a number of build challenges that we have had to work around...

Can you please run:

yum group info Xfce

and send me the output?

Here is what the group info gives me:

Group: Xfce
 Group-Id: xfce-desktop
Description: A lightweight desktop environment that works well on low end machines.
 Mandatory Packages:
   +Thunar
   +xfce-utils
   +xfce4-panel
   +xfce4-session
   +xfce4-settings
   +xfconf
   +xfdesktop
   +xfwm4
 Default Packages:
   +NetworkManager-gnome
   +gdm
   +leafpad
   +openssh-askpass
   +orage
   +polkit-gnome

   +thunar-volman
   +tumbler
   +xfce4-appfinder
   +xfce4-icon-theme
   +xfce4-power-manager

   +xfce4-session-engines
   +xfce4-terminal
   +xfwm4-theme-nodoka
 Optional Packages:
   xfwm4-themes
 Conditional Packages:
   +pinentry-gtk

I don't know why that list is different from what it actually tries to install. When I try to install it, I get this:
