Short story is, XFCE xfwm4 started crashing on login on my laptop for no
apparent reason, working fine elsewhere, and I have no clue what broke it.
Could be a local machine issue, but could also something bigger that
will trickle down to more users. Looks related to the graphics hardware.
Here is also a direct link to the upstream bug I filed:

If anyone has suggestions they are appreciated!
I just tested, as suggested by a friend, disabling DRI3 and now
everything works; while it is not a fix is a good workaround. I report
here for the record.
Now I need to understand what happened that causes it to break, if it's
something in our kernel or the drm kmod, or indeed something wrong in
xfwm4, I honestly have no clue right now.
Disabling DRI 3 is easily accomplished by creating a file in
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with content:
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMD"
MatchDriver "amdgpu"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "DRI" "2"
EndSection
