  Dear All,

because I have a lot of older machines and laptops (512Mb) I would like 
to use Xfce.

So I installed CentOs 6 from the normal netinstall cd and selected 
minimal ( just over 200 packages).

 From there I enabled EPEL repo and did :

#yum groupinstall Xfce

after that I installed Xorg and the driver for Intel ( it's on a Dell 
laptop )

after startx I get a get a lot of gnome-session warnings;

'Unable to find provider 'gnome-panel' of
'gnome session: Pango warning '
and many more.


So can anyone help me make further adjustments?

thanks for any tips in advance.

greetings, James
