Hi,

Just as a note to future readers, it's likely now that your distro is using
systemd which can spawn userspace services with management of dependencies (a
good fit to start your daemons in the appropriate order). You'd need to make
sure to start them in the right session though and do quite a lot of systemd
homework, but the XDG autostart spec doesn't specify anything about ordering
and dependencies so from a single project perspective it's very hard to manage
incompatibilities between various third-party projects.

There might be an enhancement to write in Xfce4-Sessions to define an order
between detected autostart apps but it'd still need user intervention to define
the order based on what breaks what in your specific distro. I'd rather let
people use systemd which is designed just for that.
