Unfortunately not!

# rpm -qa --qf %{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}-%{ARCH}\\n \*xf\* | grep i386
libXxf86vm-1.0.1-4.fc8-i386
libXxf86misc-1.0.1-4.fc8-i386

So obviously I have no i386 Xfce packages installed. Now I'd like to
test the Xfce 4.4.2 packages Kevin and me rolled out yesterday:

# yum install yum-basearchonly
...
Installed: yum-basearchonly.noarch 0:1.1.8-1.fc8
Complete!

# yum --enablerepo=updates-testing groupupdate XFCE

The whole group process seems really broken to me.
