I have no idea; I don't use Xubuntu.  Try asking on their forums, perhaps?

Gentoo.

Not really.  pkill works with regular expressions, so typing 'pkill
xfdesktop' will kill any process with the substring 'xfdesktop' in its
name.  'killall xfdesktop' will only kill the process whose name exactly
matches 'xfdesktop'.  The only thing to watch for is systems like
Solaris, where 'killall' is root-only and actually kills *all* processes
on the system.  (Though if you're not running as root -- which you
shouldn't be -- running killall on such a system won't do anything.)
