Description

Hi,

I recently disabled “legacy” (X11R5) session management in xfce4-session in Debian, and it seems that this revealed some kind of bug.

A Debian user (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=751725) reported that his session was not saved anymore (he tried rxvt and various x11-apps). It seems that only Xfce-based apps (I guess linked against libxfce4ui or libxfce4util) are saved in the session, along with few exceptions (calibre for example).

I'm unsure where the problem really lies, but there definitely seem to be a problem.

Any pointer on how to debug this further is welcome.

Version: 4.10.1
