XOrg 7.4 Issue with -multiwindow

[Uh Huh]

Hmmm, no, actually, I read that several times, and I do see messages
regarding that extension not being there if manually starting xwinwm. 

I don't entirely understand the significance.

Is it the case that multiwindow mode is currently not usable because 
the WindowsWM extensions are non-functional? Because I see mention of
enhancements to mutliwindow mode:

> * Multiwindow mode includes several enhancements:

> - - application icons with transparent backgrounds are properly rendered;
> - - WM hints (e.g. no window decoration) are better followed;
> - - shaped windows are displayed properly;
> - - window styles can be customized in the .XWinrc file.

without any hint of the fact that multiwindow mode isn't actually usable 
right now at (if that is fact the case).
