how am i supposed to install Xfce in FC2? (without installing

[snip]
I copied all the xfce*.rpm files from CD4 to a directory and did an
rpm -Uvh *.rpm to install XFce. It installed fine and it now appears
in the session menu.
However, when I run it, I get a message window that says:
"Your window manager does not seem to support the new window manager
hints as defined on http:/www.freedesktop.org. Some XFce features may
not work as intended."
this is because you have *not* copied all needed RPMs! you left out the
window manager xfwm4.rpm...
exactly this was my complaint: how am i supposed to know that xfwm4 is
the window manager for xfce?
is not a dependency, because xfce can work without it (if we can call
this "work") and yum will not automatically install it as dependency.
also note xffm.rpm - the file manager, probably xfsprogs (don't know if
is needed) and all libxfce*.rpm and xfdesktop.rpm
Thanks. That got me a long ways. However, when I try to install xffm
and xffm-icons, I get the following dependency:
[root@gstpc rpms]# rpm -Uvh xffm*.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
dbh >= 1.0 is needed by xffm-4.0.5-1
libdbh-1.0.so.1 is needed by xffm-4.0.5-1
I haven't tried to find out what I need yet - any hint would be helpful.
The complete set of rpms I installed (or tried) is:
[root@gstpc xfce]# ls
libxfce4mcs-4.0.5-2.i386.rpm xfce-mcs-plugins-4.0.5-2.i386.rpm
libxfce4mcs-devel-4.0.5-2.i386.rpm xfce-utils-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm
libxfce4util-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm xfdesktop-4.0.5-2.i386.rpm
libxfce4util-devel-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm xffm-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm
libxfcegui4-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm xffm-icons-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm
libxfcegui4-devel-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm xfsprogs-2.6.13-1.i386.rpm
xfce4-panel-4.0.5-2.i386.rpm xfwm4-4.0.5-2.i386.rpm
xfce-mcs-manager-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm xfwm4-themes-4.0.5-1.noarch.rpm
xfce-mcs-manager-devel-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm
I found the libxfce* rpms on CD3.
