No, they reported regression happens all the time as soon as xfwm4
starts. This doesn't make much sense, but there you go. I agree nobody
will test it :(

Ok. There's actually a bug with this little bit of code: It's possible
to have RANDR but not LIBDRM, which causes the code to not compile.
It's just a matter of moving around some checks. I'll fix this and
make a new branch.
