This is the same thing than consolekit. Imho it's not Xfce role to determine if
the user wants or not those daemon to be started.

Some of them (xscreensaver for example) should be started from
.config/autostart since they don't need to export anything to the environment.

The other (*-agent, consolekit etc.) should install themselves their startup
file and agree on a way for the user to select this. But it has to be
cross-distro and cross-desktop or it won't really work.

Debian does it using scripts (installed by packages themselves) in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d and global configuration in /etc/X11/Xsession.options.
There's no support for a $HOME/.Xsession.options but I guess that might be
possible.

All in all, I think this should happen on freedesktop.org list (either X,
distrib@ or a cross-desktop) one (fd.o is not Linux-specific, is it?)
