The default is xfwm4 tho the natural flow of
configurablility runs in the opposite direction. (Or
should, at least.)

Yeah, these kinds of problems illustrate the kind of
problems you get with GUIs in general and with
"desktop environments" in particular...

My piece of advice to the OP (if he insists sticking
to a GUI Emacs) is, disable the login manager for xfce
(which is slim by default), then use ~/.xinitrc to
specify exactly what software to run.

You can check out an example here, which uses openbox
as window manager:

If that solves the problem it is either an XFCE/xfwm4
problem so then you know what not to use :)
