Hi Simon, I'm running XFCE under CentOS 8 as a VM under CentOS 7. I've just had a quick look and this is what I see (see attachment). You'll need to view it in a wide terminal.

Thanks Martin, so the "Xfce" group definition in EPEL is obviously broken. Looks like XFCE doesn't get much love in EL8. Do you or anyone else have suggestions for a lightweight desktop environment to use on EL8 apart from XFCE? One which is supported well by EPEL?
