Turns out the documentation is actually correct. The issue is that 9.2
and 10.0 do not support NEW_XORG yet, and so the package fails to build.

xfce-wm is only 'part' of the xfce package, not the entire thing.

Not sure how big of a deal it is, but it is a known issue, same reason
why you can't install KDE.
