There is a serious bug in previous versions of xfwm4

What do you mean buy “previous version”? I'm not aware of any more recent
version.

I mean version not incorporating the commit I indicated.  My goal is to
get the Fourdan's 2015-05-18 patch to this problem  incorporated into
the distributed packages.

, the XFCE4
window manager, which has the result that clicking on the menu
bar to move a window of a KDE app causes the window manager to
hang forever, requiring the user to kill the X session or reboot.
This has been reported numerous times (see the links below).

The XFCE4 creator, Olivier Fourdan, committed a patch to fix this
problem on 2015-05-18.  See

    http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/commit/?id=71d37e11

However this commit does not seem to be in any Debian xfwm4
package, including testing and unstable.

Because nobody pointed us to that bug and patch already, and it never appeared
in any released version?

I am trying, by this message, to point it out and get it into a
released version.  If there is a more appropriate way to do this, please
let me know.

Regards,
