Mandatory Packages: xfce4-session fortune-mod Thunar Terminal recode libxfcegui4 mousepad python-exo xfwm4 mcs-libs xfce4-icon-theme mcs gtk-xfce-engine xfce4-mixer xfwm4-themes xfdesktop xfce4-taskmanager libxfce4util xfprint xfce4-session-engines xfce4-panel xfce-utils exo xfce-mcs-manager xfce4-dev-tools xfce4-appfinder libxfce4mcs Hope this helps, Akemi > Troy
