Indeed, but this is also a very disturbing experience. When it first
happened to me---a long time ago---I was in a meeting, and had *no*
idea what was wrong and how to fix it. All in all, disastrous. It
would be nice to fix this---avoid xfwm4 dying on its own---or have
Xfce detect when no WM is running and propose the user to fire-up
xfwm4.
