FYI: IMPORTANT: Changed default in xfwm4 to *not* run in daemon mode by default

Both modes are similar in terms of functionality, it just determines the
behaviour of xfwm4 at startup :

- In daemon mode, xfwm4 loads, does its initialization and then fork and run in
background mode

- In non daemon mode (the new default) it starts but does not fork.

The fork is usefull to avoid some race conds between xfce4 and xfwm4 at startup.
Without daemon mode, the startup script must explicitely run xfwm4 in background
and then spawn xfce4, but there is no guarantee that xfwm4 has finishd its
initialisation in that case and xfce4 might complain that it requires a EWMH
compilant window manager.

Cheers,
Olivier.
