I just reproduced the problem with an empty test user. I created a user
'test', logged off from my regular session, and logged in with this new
user. I moved the default XFCE bottom panel to the left side of
the screen, then run avant-window-navigator, which told me that
composition was not enabled. I enabled xfwm4's composition, run
avant-window-navigator again and this time it started. The problem
happens: no windows receive focus, so I cannot use any application. I
need to close awn to be able to use any other window.

Do you still think that my awn configuration would be useful?
