Xfwm4 should register with gnome a window configuration tool.

[Nandox7]

Binary package hint: xfwm4

Last found in Ubuntu version 10.04.

Description:
After using Xfwm4 in gnome as WM going to "System > Preferences > Windows"
outputs the following error:

"Window Manager 'Xfwm4' has not registered any configuration tool"

There is a missing .desktop file inside the folder:

/usr/share/gnome/wm-properties

That would allow gnome to run the xfwm4-settings tool.

File example:

xfwm4.desktop
--
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Xfwm4
Exec=xfwm4

# name we put on the WM spec check window
X-GNOME-WMName=Xfwm4

# our config tool
ConfigExec=xfwm4-settings
--

 Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

Many things have changed in the meantime. Is this request still valid?

Is this a joke? Must be.

The bug gets updated 5 years later...
I'm not even using Ubuntu anymore.

No, this is not a joke. I just wanted to know if we can close this and the upstream bug report. Looks like we can...
