^_^ yup, no problem.  the one annoying scenario that doesn't get 
addressed by session manangers in general - when you have an app you 
want started at each session start, but you close it later on  and it 
isn't running when the session is saved.  i suppose in that case it 
doesn't matter if the app is session-managed or not, so you can just put 
it in your startup script before the session manager starts.  i'd also 
like to see a dialog in xfce4-session to manually add startup items for 
apps that aren't session aware...
