I've seen that linux mint has already updated xfwm4 to version 4.13
(https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_sonya_xfce_whatsnew.php). Additionally,
arch has and AUR package with the latest xfwm4-git and it is used by the
most xfce users that I know.
The main advantage is that it is supposed to fix screen tearing which is
experienced by many users who currently have to use the outdated compton
compositor or the broken (in my opinion) compiz window manager in order
to fix those problems.
Would it be possible for you to upgrade xfwm4 to the latest development
version even if that mean that you won't do it through the proper
channels (debian would never accept a development version in it's
repositories as far as I know)? Do you think it's a good idea?
