Evidently the  problem occurs (metacity substituted for xfwm4) when a
gnome user configures a gnome session. I am not sure what configuration
is needed, In my case I added icons to the upper panel, for example.
When I logged in to Xfce it was screwed up.

Fixing it involved running: xfwm4 --replace &

Another user on my system that had not configured Gnome in any way did
not have the problem.
