xfwm4 cvs bug

[Jens Luedicke]

Hi...

Just to make sure, what do you mean with:

If I copy the src/xfwm4 executable from 5th august cvs version to
/usr/local/bin, it works.

!?

xfwm4 needs to be installed with make install, just to copy the binary
isn't enough. Furthermore I can't confirm that non-root users can't
run xfwm4. For me it works just fine.
