what version of xfwm4?
It really looks like you're missing the XShape extension. Open up a terminal and type: xdpyinfo | grep -i shape You should see: SHAPE If not, make sure you have the "extmod" listed in the "Module" section of the xorg.conf/XF86Config file.
yep, extmod was missing.. i'm sorry for posting about this and very thankfull for your help! rock on! cheers
