The cause is xfce4-session. I will file a bug report.
Bug#899080: xfce4-session hangs in getrandom if crng not ready
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=899080
I think this is a symptom of Bug#898088 in libbsd0:
Bug#898088: arc4random_buf() may block for a long time
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=898088
xfce4-session uses IceGenerateMagicCookie and thus arc4random_buf to
generate MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1.
I will merge these issues. You can also watch for updates on the source
package page:
