|I'd like to try out the Xfce desktop manager on my SL 4.4 box.  Xfce  
|requires a newer version of glib(2.12)/gtk(2.6)/pango(1.13) than is  
|provided in the SL yum repositories.  I've been playing the download/ 
|configure/make install game, but installing two copies of glib and  
|gtk makes me uncomfortable.
|
|Is there a more stable (ie through yum) way I can update these  
|libraries?

Have you looked for RPMS built for RHEL4?
Also, either FC2 or FC3 RPMs should work (I
forget which).  Assuming you don't absolutely
have to have the latest version...

We grabbed some RH9 RPMs for Xfce on SL3 and
they they worked fine.
