Yes.  "hg revert --all" in the project sourcetree will also restore the 
file without having to edit.  Installing libqscintilla is what you need 
to do.  To make sure you have all the necessary header files and 
utilities, do this check after configure and before recompiling to 
possibly save some time:

  [sebald@ build1]$ grep QSCINTILLA config.h
  #define HAVE_QSCINTILLA 1

I will enter a bug report for what you've uncovered, thank you.  And 
please continue to be a test-source for XFCE.
