If you don't like Xfwm, the run a different one. I was asking a
legitimate question since you claimed the app fit your need. Since
you've (snarkily) claimed that the app is insufficient then replace
the app.

This list has been over and over and over and over this ground before.
This kind of functionality is not within Xfwm's design goals or
philosophy. In fact, a majority of WMs agree, so Olivier isn't on a
limb or anything. But a MAJOR design goal of all of Xfce is to make it
easy to replace it's components. So replace Xfwm with a window manager
that better meets your needs, and stop making snarky comments about
the work of volunteers.
