But this is the real issue. It seems there is a race condition in Xfwm
code. I reproduced this once (don't remember how this ended, me killing
xfwm or if it stopped by itself), and Cyril Brulebois (CC:ed) seems to
reproduce it often. Definitively dependent on machine speed.

I'll check that upstream. Stay tuned,
