Now to be sure, try 'ps ax | grep nautilus' before you save the session and find out if nautilus isn't still running.  If it is, then you have a little problem.  You have to go to the session manager settings, set application type of nautilus from restart to normal (i don't know how do you do this in xfce-session, I use gnome-session with XFCE) and then stop nautilus, either from session manager configuration window, or by killall nautilus.

I see. Thanks for explaining. It turns out that Nautilus is not running.
It's an Evo-thing, I'm sure, that is keeping xfdesktop from running and
replacing it with the Gnome-centric system default: Gnome 2.

Check out my recent post for specs on what's happening.

Thanks again for the help,
