Stretch/Xfce: five xclock's running on startup
Hi, command "inxi -S" reports
Host: maria Kernel: 4.9.0-4-amd64 x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Xfce 4.12.3
The user has defined $HOME/.config/autostart/xclock.desktop as
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Clock
Comment=Clock with seconds hand
Icon=xclock
Exec=xclock -update 1 -geometry 200x200+150+400
Terminal=false
Type=Application
When the user logs in, he gets multiple instances of xclock.

Why is this? Is there some way of avoiding these extra xclock's?
The user's xosview.desktop produces only one copy of xosview, and
xload.desktop produces only one xload.
