I haven't investigated it. You're probably right.
XFCE4 needs to run a series of apps, in sequence. The way it
_currently_ does this is to modify the user's .xsession file through
script designed for that purpose.
The way it *should* do it is with, say, a "start-xfce4" script, which
contains the contents currently created by "xfce_setup", and which could
be invoked either by a DM or as the last line of an .xsession file.
Should I file a bug?
Peace.
