Cool! This is apparently what I've been looking for as well, however...

I've looked far and wide, I cannot find a file like that. It does not appear to
be anywhere in .config, and I've tried a 'locate' on anything called 'xfwm4rc'
or 'xfwm4.rc', nothing.

Can anyone tell me where I'm supposed to have this file?

Thanks!
