Xfwm4 / compositor: gray background

[Harold Aling]

Whoops! Forgot to report my success to the list ;)

I added a patch in my Arch package that adds #define MONITOR_ROOT_PIXMAP 1

... after that, Xfwm4 started monitoring the root pixmap and I got the best
background back!


Thank you all, and have a nice day ;)
