Can't Start xfwm4

[John Lowell]

Thanks for the prompt reply, john-thomas richards.

As I'd indicated at the start of my message, I'm using xfwm4 as a stand
alone window manager and the manual is quite clear about the command
required to start it: xfwm4. I'm not using the full desktop.

or to something its trying to open? I'm unclear on this point. In any event,
what's the remedy I'll need to administer to fix the problem?
