For me at least, leaving the existing configuration (~/.gconf and/or
~/.local and or ~/.cache) would start the new Xfce but only partially 
and such that keyboard/mouse wouldn't work (except for Ctrl-Alt-Fn).
Currently I have the directories in the attachment moved out of the way.

This is implied by step 1 ;)

Would it help to depend on x11-toolkits/gtk30 ? Without it, this fails:

# Real version of GTK3
_GTK3_VERSION!= pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0

With gtk30 installed, it at least returns a value and doesn't clobber 
the output of make(1).
