Yea, upgrading to XFCE 4.4 is a PITA.
The package structure/organization was changed completely, so
emerge gets confused. It knows it can't install libxfce4util
because a bunch of older packages that were combined into
libxfce4util are still installed. For whatever reason, emerge
doesn't know enough to remove the old packages.
I ended up removing all of the XFCE 4.2 packages with emerge -C.
Only then was I able to emerge XFCE 4.4.
