Description:
On a fresh installation of arch32 XFCE while trying to install XFCE by issuing "pacman -S xfce4" I got many errors stating "libgobject-2.0.so.0 cannot open shared object file".

Installation of XFCE with pacman wouldn't complete.

After installing glib2, with "pacman -S glib2" and then re-installing xfce4 everything worked fine.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Fresh 32bit install (I do not know about 64bit)
pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit
pacman -S xf86-video-intel
pacman -S xfce4 (accepting all defaults)
errors will arise and the installation cannot complete
This task depends upon

I don't see how this could have happened; even systemd depends on glib2.

Also checked in a new VM using the 2013.05.01 installation media:

- After 'pacstrap /mnt base', glib2 is installed as a dependency of gettext and systemd

- After rebooting into the new system, 'pacman -S xfce4' completes without any errors
