This problem has been driving me nuts for as long as I can remember.  I would
have reported it sooner if I'd pinpointed its cause.

Every alternate time I login to Xfce, the splash-screen hangs on "Starting
Thunar" and "Performing Autostart" for a few seconds each.

It then takes over half a minute to load the desktop.  For the rest of the
session, it's just as slow to start any applications.

No errors or warnings are reported in the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" file and
nothing much of interest is shown on the screen either.

I've tried some common workarounds - like deleting "~/.config/autostart/",
"~/.config/xfce4/" and "~/.cache/sessions/" beforehand - without any success.

I think this is an Xfce-specific problem, because I can re-login to KDE all day
without encountering any noticeable slowdowns.

This problem is occurring on my 32-bit and 64-bit Arch Linux installations. 
How can I fix it or where else should I be looking for an explanation?
