Installing xfce-installer on new Linux From Scratch

I wanted to install xfce4-4.4.1-installer.run on the new system.
I did a "save link as" to download that one.
I could have done a "parent directory" twice and gotten a more recent version. But I still like the one I got.
Xorg was running around the installations of tidy and xterm in the list below.
Proceeding from there to the end of the list below in the order shown was necessary to solve the dependencies.

xfce installer


Tweak #1:
xfce-installer would appear to fail at the end due to a missing file named update-desktop-database which is not present in a new linux from scratch system.
To get around this problem, I created a "fake" file /usr/bin/update-desktop-database with these contents:
cat >> /var/log/update-desktop-database.log << EOF
$(date)
somebody wanted to do update-desktop-database
EOF

Sure enough, a file /var/log/update-desktop-database.log appeared at the end of xfce-installer and it was happy.
... Later, I learned that installing desktop-file-utils includes the update-desktop-database.

Tweak #2:
To get Thunar to generate thumbnails on xfce4, installed shared-mime-info-0.17

Tweak #3:
Some icons missing and startxfce4 complained.
install hicolor-icon-theme-0.9
