Turns out the documentation is actually correct. The issue is that 9.2 and 10.0 do not support NEW_XORG yet, and so the package fails to build. xfce-wm is only 'part' of the xfce package, not the entire thing. Not sure how big of a deal it is, but it is a known issue, same reason why you can't install KDE. -- Allan Jude
