I can't confirm this. In fact xfce4-session has been running rock solid
for me.. for month now. I'm using save session on exit too and I never
expecienced any problems while starting or restarting even with 20
application on my desktop. The problem in your case might come from
programs which do not support session management properly enough (I
expect Mozilla and/or OO.org to not support it at all). Please try
running smproxy and see if that solves your issue.
