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.

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
