I am aware that xfce4 maintainers do not necessarily look here, I will submit a patch to xfce4 bugzilla. |

This was accepted in xfce bugzilla at the end of 2020 Feb, and incorporated into the development version of xfsettingsd, so I am closing this pull request. |

Both xfdesktop and xfce4-panel have a --disable-wm-check command line option, presumably to allow xfce4 to be used with an alternate window manager (e.g. fluxbox) that does not use the same hints (ownership of the WM_S0, WM_S1, etc. selections) to register its operation that xfwm4 uses. However, xfsettingsd still waits for these hints during session startup. This pull request adds a --disable-wm-check option to not wait for these window manager hints, to make it consistent with the other xfce4 components and to allow a full session startup with an alternate window manager but without waiting for the check to time out.
