I don't know, I haven't heard about it before. Besides, it is a somewhat 
moving target ;-) But it might be the case (I don't know if it is 
possible to install XFCE from unstable on stable right now). But even if 
it is, it might be a more long term solution to use backports, if the 
package is available ofcourse.
