Okay, I ran the command just like you show up above and now xfce will
not start at all, I just get the gray xfwm screen, no icon bar, pager or
anything other than the mouse click menu. The error message that comes
up is:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgtk-1.2.so.5" not found
I verified that I do have gtk-1.2.7 installed through pkg_info.
According to the XFCE web page is will work with that.

PS
As for why I put it in /usr/ports/distfiles -
I read somewhere that that was the place to install new files from, but
am I to assume that is for ports only, not packages? So, then what is
the proper directory to install from?
