Summary:                    I can't run my Xfwm.
Description: 
System: Aurox 9.2
GForce 4 MX 400
Xfce4.0.2

I can ONLY run Xfce after "telinit 3", login as root and typing
startxfce4. In all other cases an error window appear that my window
menager isn't compatible with "freedesktop.org." and can work incorectly.
Xfce4 starts up, but without xfwm :(
I didn't touch the xinitrc file.

Xfce4 Installed from rpm's
build order:
# dbh

# xfce4/libxfcegui4
# xfce4/libxfce4mcs
# xfce4/xfce-mcs-manager

** (xfwm4:3338): WARNING **: xfwm4: Missing defaults file

means your install is broken. xfwm4 will refuse to run if it can't find a
bare minimum.

It that runs as root and not as another unprivileged user, then it means
that the file isn't world readable as it should be.

As root, type:
chmod a+rx /usr/share/xfwm4
chmod a+r  /usr/share/xfwm4/defaults


Cheers,
Olivier.

Thanks Olivier! 
Everytking is working now.

Can you tell my why /usr/share/xfwm4 mode was set to 700?
My friend installed it (on the same OS) in the same way and he didn't heve
any problems :/
