Assuming that "Foo" is your host name (the name returned by gethostbyname),
then this messsage tells you, that this name cannot be resolved using the libc
DNS resolver (most probably a broken /etc/hosts, but that's not the only
possible cause). This is a safety check in xfce4-session to ensure that your
environment is sane, because otherwise applications will not be able to connect
to the session manager at all.
