X-Air-Edit (digital mixer control) won't work with XFCE

Hi,
Please, help me find what changes I have to make so this (xairedit 1.5-2) will work on my desktop.

Currently I use Manjaro XFCE, kernel 5.4 and 4.19.
I initialize the program, the UI just wont do anything. I can still open extra windows with function keys, but I can't close those extra windows with mouse-click. (They are not using the system's WM, only the main window does.) The whole thing just wont interact with my mouse-clicks. The hover-over effects are showing on Setup/Utility etc UI elements but that's it.

I get no errors when I run it from the terminal.

I've found similar question on Ubuntu Studio 19.10: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1201381 … dio-19-10#

It does not matter if I run this AUR version, or the one I downloaded from Behringer's page.

Thanx for any help!

journalctl does not show me anything related.

I have switched to another VT.
I started the program with

xinit ./X-AIR-EDIT -- :1 vt5

It started, and I was able to move faders, click mutes, etc.
I am not sure what does this prove though. :smiley: Is this something XFCE related?

I managed to kinda crash xfwm4 with

xfwm4 --replace

Now it's terrible but if I start X-AIR-EDIT, it works perfectly.
