Try this, assuming my file locations are right.

Open up ~/.xfce4 
Kill anything related to the session manager.
Remove the xfwm line from .xsession - it shouldn't be needed if the
session manager is working.
Setup your session the way you want it.
Log out, saving your session.
Log back in.

Report back here!
