That's the standard... We may not like it, we may disagree, but it's the
way it is.

I really see no reason for using .xfce4/autostart, sorry; I see no need
for a patch for that.

No offense intended, your screenshot shows the default 4.0 theme and
doesn't show any sign of the compositing manager, that's why I'm

My time has nothing to do with that, I'm just trying to keep the devel
list on topic. If you think your post is aimed at the devel list, then
fine.
