            Bug ID: 15960
           Summary: sometimes xfconf-query toggle/toggling boolean values
                    doesn't work
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfconf
           Version: 4.14.1
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Xfconf-query
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: howaboutsynergy at pm.me
  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.12

Running this repeatedly:

$ xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing; xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p
/general/use_compositing -T; xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing

you can see that sometimes you can get the same value(ie. unchanged) three
times in a row!

ie.
false
false

^ three times in a row.

Also happens for 'true'.

Usually you get either:
true
false

or:
false
true

that should always happen, but it doesn't.

I took a look at the code but can't find anything obviously wrong or different
between the normal and failing case.
