           Summary: "Automatically save session on logout" option not
                    respected. Still saves/restores if unchecked.

No matter the state of the "Automatically save session on logout" checkbox,
Xfce always remembers and restarts all the programs I had running at last
logout.

The only workaround I've found to prevent it from doing so is to remove
~/.cache/sessions, then create a regular file with the same name to cause Xfce
to fail to recreate the directory.

I'm running Linux Mint Debian Edition, freshly installed a few weeks ago, which
has Xfce 4.8.0 (according to Menu->About Xfce, though Xfce package versions
reported in Synaptic range from 4.8.0 to 4.8.5, with xfce4-settings reported as
4.8.1-3). The problem had been going on since the first boot.
