There are two thing you could try here.  One is to use kstart!  I know several 
other people use it along XFce to provide this function.  Also you could 
checkout xfce4-session from the CVS.  It is a session manager and is very 
solid.  It just didn't quite make it into the 4.0 release.  If your mail 
program is session aware it will be restarted on the correct desktop each time 
you log in.

GKrellM should remember its settings each time it is started.  If it isn't I 
am not sure what to tell you.  Again though, kstart works with XFce4.
