I rebuilt all packages in the suggested order, and I still had the same 
problem. So I just opened the desktop menu, launched "Run Program" and typed 
"xfwm4"... which resolved the problem. Now all applications have window 
decorations and buttons. 

I wonder what's happened. Since I will have to install this on a series of 
publicly accessible machines, for the moment I'll use the workaround of 
launching xfwm4 manually on the first startup, until I find the solution of 
the problem.

Besides that: I took a peek at the new functionalities of XFCE. You guys are 
simply the best. I love it!
