Comment 14 for bug 1294600

I have built Xfwm4 myself, I tested it for weeks now and I can confirm that fix the tearing problem with Nvidia proprietary drivers.

I don't really care for me since I can build Xfwm4 myself but it's for all other people that are plagued with this for years now. I think it worth it to include it in Wily.

Anyway if someone is interested, this is how I build Xfwm4:

$ sudo apt-get install checkinstall git build-essential xfce4-dev-tools coffeescript pkgconf libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libxfce4util-dev libxfce4ui-2-dev libxfconf-0-dev libwnck-dev libxfce4ui-1-dev exo-utils libepoxy-dev
$ git clone git://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4
$ cd xfwm4/
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ --disable-debug && make
$ sudo checkinstall -D make install
$ sudo reboot

Note that you simply have to enter a verison number compliant with debian policy like 4.12.4 and press enter when it hang.
