just another window manager patch

[Benedikt Meurer]

Olivier,

I think I found the cause (or atleast the fix) for a race condition between 
the window manager and the taskbar (it could be any other app here, but this 
is due to the fact that the taskbar is launched right after the window 
manager). You connect to the session manager very early in xfwm4 startup when 
not everything is setup yet and the session manager will start the taskbar 
right after the wm tells him that its up and running. So the taskbar is 
probably started while the window manager is not yet in a good state and weird 
things will happen (for example, flickering, cause the Map request isn't 
interrupted by the window manager or the taskbar doesn't appear at all, etc.).
