Bug 262883: The pkg package name for x11-wm/xfce4 should be changed from xfce
to xfce4
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=262883



--- Description ---
The pkg package name for x11-wm/xfce4 should be changed from xfce to xfce4.
Because no pkg package is now called xfce4, the only way to install xfce
desktop is to type the command pkg install xfce, while the name in xfce ports
is xfce4, which is inconsistent. Also most of the xfce desktop components are
named xfce4-* (pkg and ports) with the same package name.
