Dmitry, should we take this up tomorrow or another day?  Its not
exactly a burning issue.  So if you'd rather get some rest, just say
so.

I used your patch verbatim  since my XfwmPager.c looked just like
what you posted (before the print line).  Running diff -c I get the
exact output as your posted patch.

However, I see no output.  But not sure where to look.  I have no 
.xsessions-errors.   I've commented out my xfpager lines about
geometry and font.  After running startx.  I see the pager at
upperleft in the corner.

Running ls -altr on my ~/ to see the most recent modified files
listed last I see:

 .xfceX/
 .vim_x
 .Xclients-default*
 .misc-snippets
 .netscape/
 .Xdefaults~
 .Xdefaults
 .bash_history
  bin/
 .xfce/
 .viminfo
 ./

None of these are the one.  inside .xfce 
The xfwm-session file has only this for xfpager

grep -r xfpager .xfce/xfwm-session
.xfce/xfwm-session:  [RES_NAME] xfpager

Do I need to add something to the print line to make it print to 
a known file.

I know nothing about C.

In case I've made some dumb error:
Diff created by running diff -c against newly edited XfwmPager and
XfwmPager~ in that order
