Thanks for the info, but if saving the session is required, it won't work 
for
me.  Also, how do I get to the session manager's systray menu?

I detailed my problems with session manager in an earlier post.  Always if
MozillaFirebird is active and sometimes with other windows/desktops active, 
if I
save sessions at exit, on the next start of session manager, session manager
dies after restarting some sessions.  The only way to continue is to wipe 
out
~/.xfce4/sessions.  I tried eliminating the stanza for the MozillaFirebird,
but that had no effect.  The basic problem with MozillaFirebird is that the
session manager attempts to restart an MB executable that is not designed to 
be
the initial executable and cannot possibly work.

It's such a PITA responding to this group, since the webmaster blocks my

Fortunately, other groups are not this persnickity!
