xfce4-session doesn't care about it's child processes but makes them zombies

Description

I use xdm to log into my xfce session (default session, Xfce 4.10, Debian unstable) and use $HOME/.xsessionrc to start some applications. If I exit/kill those applications after xfce startup, they remain as zombie processes, which wasn't the case with Xfce 4.8.

example in my .xsessionrc: command: unclutter &
part of pstree: before and after killing unclutter:
     ├─xdm─┬─Xorg───2*[{Xorg}]
     │     └─xdm───x-session-manag─┬─Xsession
     │                             └─unclutter

ps x after killing unclutter:
13426 ?        Z      0:00 [unclutter] `<defunct>`

Thanks, Franky
