xfwm4 version to try [WAS Re: xfce4-session crash]

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hi all,

I've reverted the last change in xfwm4 regarding mgmt of Motif MWM
hints. As it's the last thing that changed just before rc2, well, that
might help chasing the bug... Btw I did not like the change I made and
the new impl should be really buttlet proof.

new update available here:

http://www.xfce.org/archive/test/xfwm4-cvs.tar.bz2

Ppl experiencing problems on IRC last night (this night?) should upgrade
and report any progress. That will help us chasing bugs... (the fact is
that I cannot reproduce the problem now, but that doesn't prove
anything!)

Cheers,
Olivier.
