OK, a couple of restarts later: I verified that xfce4-session is not
starting the window manager, and that # of workspaces is reset to 1 on
every login.

Are you sure you are saving a session with xfwm4 running? and it's
completing ok?

Anything in ~/.xsession-errors related to a xfwm4 crash?

Does making a new clean user show the same behavior?

"No", "no", "not tried b/c #1 is the correct answer".

So the best guess is initially, after I ran yum update and hit "restart"
button on the logout dialog, the session got somehow saved with xfwm4
not running?

After that I was starting xfwm4 from an xterm without '&', I can see how
that would kill the wm before saving the session.

Thanks.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. ;(

We have seen sporadic cases where a logout has a xfwm4 crash, then it
doesn't get saved in the session. Causing it to not show up in later
sessions. ;(

We have not been able to track down the issue. ;(

I am not having trouble with window decorations, but I am having trouble
with the number of workspaces being reset to 1.  I can also set the
number of workspaces manually every time I login.  I'm using F16 on 686.
