The "Launch Gnome services" launches daemons that hardcore Gnome
programs expect to have running.

But there is hope! Is the programs you run support session management
(and they should) just start everything you want to run when you
login, logout and as you do, check the "Save session for future
logins" box. Then log back in and all should be great.

Anything that doesn't support session management can be symlinked to
~/Desktop/Autostart. Xfce will start apps in that folder on login as
well.
