references to user home directory in xfce4-session-HOSTNAME:n

Description

all references to user's home directory in ~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-HOSTNAME:n, n being the X display number are recorded without using either "$HOME" environment variable or "~". When moving the home directory to a new location this leads to weird problems such as xfce loading only an empty blue screen, or loading only some of all the components that should be loaded and that very slowly... I have already seen such problem reports. Assuming that "session saving" is used, of course.
