Since the OP is an Arch Linux user, this isn't an issue ;).<br>

<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>

So that's really worth the effort to get rid of xfdesktop?<br>
If you would just keep using it, I bet it would cost you less time
and effort.<br>

Just my 2cts<br>
