Just install the Xfce live, or install any other spin/media and do: 'yum groupinstall xfce-desktop'
Hope that clears things up.

Thank you, Kevin. I wasn't aware of the groupinstall command. It worked like a champ. I started with a Live (Gnome) CD install, did the groupinstall, then loaded switchdesk and switchdesk-gui, and was up and running within a half-hour.
A hint to anyone installing xfce: You will get an ugly message if you try to access the Window Manager or Window Manager Tweaks apps, "These settings cannot work with your current window manager (imsetting -xim)". The fix is to do yum remove imsettings -- it will take a bunch of other files with it. (Not my idea -- it's from the Fedora Project wiki as linked to from the Release Notes.)
