xfwm4 + Zaphod mode + Wrap workspace

[xfce at theiling.de]

Hi Erik!

In 4.10 the code in question has not changed at all, so it would be nice 
to get this upstream.  Please find a patch attached for 4.10.

As I said, I don't understand why it is there, because if the feature is 
undesired by anyone, it can be switched off in the options.  And in my 
case, it does exactly what I want, so it should not be hardcoded off, I 
think.

Best regards,
   Henrik
