That's clear.

I've done it.

What I've realized is that xfdesktop and xffm-deskview do not like each  
other,
:)
Other: if I set autosave session on, then xfce starts xffm-deskview twice.  
???

So I've set off autosave, deleted xfdesktop starting command from the  
xfce-session.rc (in /etc/xdg/xfce-session/ as I remember). After I started  
xfce without background handlig. Then I started xffm, and set autosave  
session again on. Logout-login, and it works.
