[edit] Adding Repository

You can install Xfce from contrib repository. You just need to add it;

sudo pisi ar contrib-2007 http://paketler.pardus.org.tr/contrib-2007/pisi-index.xml.bz2

If you have already added it, update it;

sudo pisi up

[edit] Xfce4

To install Xfce4, you need to install all packages of desktop.xfce4 component. Just enter and wait;

sudo pisi it -c desktop.xfce4 -d

Yeah, xfce is installed but we should do some configuration changes.

[edit] Configuration

Build the kdmtheme application to change a login theme to see the Xfce4 option and login

sudo pisi it kdmtheme -d

Configure it by writing,

kcmshell kdmtheme

And give root privileges in the application, Please select another login theme and press OK

After it, we should move ".gtkrc-2.0" file in the home directory

mv ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ~/.gtkrc-2.0.backup

Xfce is ready! Please shutdown the session and select the Xfce from menu than login ;)
