No, I  cannot type in Greek in any application, unless I use "insert
character" or use Ctrl-Shift-u +Unicode value. This is a real pain.

I also asked on the Xfce forums last night. I just checked the post -
15 people had read it and there were no replies.

A long time ago when I used Gnome it was trivially easy. But how in the
heck do you install a second keyboard in Xfce?
