            Bug ID: 15788
           Summary: Xfsettingsd managing the workspaces when another (not
                    Xfwm) WM is running
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-settings
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Xfsettingsd
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: f.galizzi92 at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.14

I'm running Xfce with i3 instead of Xfwm. To be more precise

1. LightDM launches the xfce session
2.  In "Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Session" there are only two
programs with "Restart Style = Immediately", which are xfce4-panel and
Xfsettingsd
3. In "Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart" there
are i3 and other stuff which should not be relevant.

The issue I have is that Xfsettingsd overrides the properties
_NET_DESKTOP_NAMES and _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS of the root X window which
instead should be left managed by i3, as there is no Xfwm instance running.

I also tried configuring LightDM to start the i3 session and then launching
xfsettingsd manually but the behaviour is the same as before.
