xfwm4 cvs bug

[Xavier Otazu]

	More information:

	I comment (delete) the xfce-session starting on 
/usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc. I delete .xfce4 .config .cache 
directories on home directory. When starting xfce I receive a screen 
without panel, taskbar, and so. In fact they are running, but not 
visible. If I perform a right_click->quit session, I recover a good 
screen with panel, taskbar and so.

	If I use the original /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc file (which runs 
xfce-session) I receive the same screen without panel and so, but when I 
perform righ_click->quit session, it close xfce but don't recover panel 
as before.

	It looks like there is two sessions launched at the same time and that 
xfce-session is not able to manage them. In fact, when xfce is started, 
I see as a strange double screen and background clearing.
