I didn't ask for a whitelist. I'm was more thinking-out loud about a way to
check if *a* window manager is running. xfwm4 is already able to do that in
some way, I'm not sure how hard / desirable it is to have the same kind of
check in xfce4-session.

If at the end of desktop init there's no wm running at all, then it'd make
sense to still run xfwm4 (even if it's not the desired choice of the Xfce user)
so he can then chose to replace the wm by his own, instead of having an
unusable session.

It's just a kind of fallback/failsafe mode.

I agree fixing bugs leading to that situation is a good idea, but it doesn't
seem that easy, and enabling people to have a working session is still good
imho.
