            Bug ID: 16128
           Summary: Add a --disable-wm-check flag like that of xfdesktop
                    and xfce4-panel

patch to implement requested flag

Both xfdesktop and xfce4-panel have a --disable-wm-check command line option,
presumably to allow xfce4 to be used with an alternate window manager (e.g.
fluxbox) that does not use the same hints that xfwm4 uses (ownership of the
WM_S0, WM_S1, etc. selections) to register its operation. However, xfsettingsd
still waits for these hints during session startup. Please add a
--disable-wm-check option to not wait for these window manager hints, to make
it consistent with the other xfce4 components and to allow a full session
startup with an alternate window manager but without waiting for the check to
time out. I have provided a patch which does so, cf.
