I've built Xfwm4 using the PKGBUILD from the official Arch Xfwm4 PKGBUILD,
with the added CFLAGS="...". I then removed and killed Xfdesktop and killed
Xfwm4, so it would get reloaded by Xfsession.

The result is that Xfwm4 does show the background image with the compositor
enabled! ... but dragging a window accross it wipes the image to replace it
with the gray background I don't really like.
