I (and perhaps others) would have tremendous objection to the use of
gnome session (except perhaps as a conceptual model).  One of the
storngest points about xfce is that it is lightweight, i.e. you don't
need to drag in all of the bloat associated with gnome or kde/qt in
order to have a functional window manager.  What was wrong with the
xfce3 window manager, and why can't it be upgraded for xfce4?
