After upgrading to xorg-server-1.20.0 when I log in to xfce4 all I get is a white screen. Logging in to lxde works as expected though. $ emerge --info xfwm4 Portage 2.3.40 (python 3.5.5-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0/no-multilib, gcc-6.4.0, glibc-2.27-r4, 4.4.119-gentoo x86_64)

I not yet tested the patches here, but I’m running into this issue too, and it looks like this issue at arch bugzilla: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58662
I have the same issue. So far helped changing in .xinitrc from xfwm4 --compositor=on to xfwm4 --compositor=off
looks like there is a fix for xorg available: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=3ebef6ab850675e1091df2125ebdfbb147436e6c
I can confirm. This patch fixes xfwm4 --compositor=on.
but it doesn't fix the compile error of xfwm4, does it?
Ok, did some testing. Patch for xorg does not break lxde desktop, but it doesn't fix the xfwm4 compile error. Looks like no one's willing to discuss this with upstream, are you?
patch is merged in xorg-server-1.20.1
