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...
