A couple of minor tweaks:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv yum --skip-broken install mate* -x mate*devel* -x mate-menu -x mate-optimus* yum groupinstall "MATE" --skip-broken vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop" --skip-broken --exclude "*logos*"
but otherwise working. Decided that I should see whether I could get MATE working on CentOS 8 before fiddling with Xfce. I now have a usable CentOS 8 desktop. Thank you!

Thanks Dave. There is another option I posted in this general thread, a Fedora COPR user has rebuilt MATE for EL8: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/stenstorp/MATE/
Saw that but I wanted to work through your original process with MATE before trying the same approach with Xfce The good news is that I got the same results but with Xfce. One different tweak to get around some additional conflicts between Fedora 28 Xfce and CentOS 8 Gnome:
yum groupinstall "Xfce" --skip-broken --exclude "*adwaita-gtk2-theme*" yum groupinstall "Xfce Desktop" --skip-broken --exclude "*adwaita-gtk2-theme*" --exclude"*logos*"
Also, I skipped the step analogous to:
yum install mate* -x mate*devel* -x mate-menu
since it seemed to be redundant with doing the group installs. So, I now have two CentOS 8 VMs with neither using Gnome 3.
Thanks again!!!
Very nice. I'll see to post this in CentOS group on Facebook.
Cheers, Dave
