	Of course I made 'make install'. Since the problem appears to be with
the WM (i.e. the xfwm4 program), I simply copy the 'xfwm4' executable
file to its usual location /usr/local/bin (where 'make install' copy the
executable to).

	I don't know where the problem come from (permisions on some files
xfwm4 read, or some kind of 'crash' of xfwm4 program), but when starting
xfce, only root is able to load 'xfwm4' program into memory.
