Here is how I got Xfce on ClearOS7 and it should work for Centos7-arm:

First on a Fedora_x64 system run:

yum group info Xfce

You get:

Group: Xfce
 Group-Id: xfce-desktop
 Description: A lightweight desktop environment that works well on low end machines.
 Mandatory Packages:
   +Thunar
   +xfce-utils
   +xfce4-panel
   +xfce4-session
   +xfce4-settings
   +xfconf
   +xfdesktop
   +xfwm4
 Default Packages:
   +NetworkManager-gnome
   +gdm
   +leafpad
   +openssh-askpass
   +orage
   +polkit-gnome
   +thunar-archive-plugin
   +thunar-volman
   +tumbler
   +xfce4-appfinder
   +xfce4-icon-theme
   +xfce4-power-manager
   +xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin
   +xfce4-session-engines
   +xfce4-terminal
   +xfwm4-theme-nodoka
 Optional Packages:
   xfwm4-themes
 Conditional Packages:
   +pinentry-gtk

Put this list into a file called xfce.lst and remove the non rpm lines.  Then run:

yum install $(cat xfce.lst | tr '\n' ' ')

I had errors.  The following were not found:


No package xfce-utils available.
No package NetworkManager-gnome available.
No package leafpad available.
No package xfce4-icon-theme available.
Package xfce4-mixer is obsoleted by xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, trying to install xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.2.4-4.el7.x86_64 instead
No package xfwm4-theme-nodoka available

The background is black and no network manager on the tray.  But I do have it working well enough...

I don't think there is an LXDE for CentOS in any of the repos (EPEL or
base CentOS), even for x86_64.

There MAY be enough xfce to get that working on CentOS 7.

I am not sure how easy it is to get aarch64 on a PI3, but the base
Fedora EPEL actually runs on there.  EPEL (and therefore xfce support)
would be much better and more updated from there than what we are trying
to do for arm32.
