Gérard,
   If you are using Solaris 10 because you want the Operating System to 
be supported by Sun, you probably should wait till blastwave have 
updated their Xfce packages. Using the spec-files from the JDS and Xfce 
project (Also SUNWlxml from SFW) will take a fair bit of effort to back 
port to Solaris 10 and will certainly not be supported by Sun :(  It can 
be done, but is the effort worth it?
