I finally have got around to installing centos 7 and usually do a
pretty minimal installation, I chose the virtualization host, since
that will be the primary purpose. However I have hit a snag, I
usually install xfce from epel and go along my way but there appears
to be a bug in the xfce package:
Error: Package: xfdesktop-4.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: desktop-backgrounds-basic
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
It has been reported and I assume it will be corrected at some point,
but was wondering if anyone has xfce running on centos 7 or any other
alternatives to kde/gnome3.
Thanks.

My guess is that any Fedora xfce desktop-backgrounds-basic file would work but I went with the one from Fedora 19. Cheers, Dave
