[run-virt] Always use xfwm4 for multi-screen (not just vmware)
While VMware just doesnt work with openbox wrt multi-screen, VBox does
mostly work with openbox, but sometimes, all virtual desktop windows
will end up on the same physical screen, covering each other.
This hasn't been observed yet with xfwm, so let's switch for now. If
this still happens, we need some really ugly hackery involving xdotool.
