Problem solved.

It needed xfwm4 -


 whichcd xfwm4
You appear to be running Fedora Core 2.
I'll search for rpms for that version.
Searching for xfwm4...

CD-4:xfwm4-4.0.5-2.i386.rpm
CD-4:xfwm4-themes-4.0.5-1.noarch.rpm
SOURCE-CD-3:xfwm4-4.0.5-2.src.rpm
SOURCE-CD-3:xfwm4-themes-4.0.5-1.src.rpm

Thanks.
