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

[Ric]

Hmm, I 
./configure
checked for any errors in the output and, finding none,
make rpm

I'll try it again. Maybe some file did not get untarred...
Nope, same error.

The same procedure with the RC2 xfwm4 works.  It also works with previous
(old) xfwm4 from CVS.  I did it again, just now, to insure that it still works
and it does.  I did try downloading the file again but still got the same
error(not a bad dnld).
As far as libtool goes, it's version 1.4.x here(MDK 9).  If the new xfwm4 is
somehow depending on libtool >=1.5, well, it will not work (here).

Maybe something else is wrong?
