I don't know that the session manager can handle this - Benny correct
me if I am wrong.

However, rather than using a saved session to launch the Terminals,
you can use use a script. The method will differ slightly if you are
using the latest stable Xfce (4.2.x) or if you are using one of the
recent RCs of Xfce 4.4.0.

If you are using the latest stable Xfce then just drop a script that
sets up and launches all the Terminals you need at startup, along with
their various custom environments, and drop it in ~/Desktop/Autostart

If you are using Xfce 4.4 RC, you can use the autostart editor.
Admittedly, it requires a GUI, but I think you can handle it ;-). Run
the Autostarted Applications from the Settings submenu (alternatively,
run xfce4-autostart-editor from the command line). Then click the Add
button, and write in a short label and description for your Terminal
script, and then browse to the location of your script.

Hope that's clear, feel free to ask if you need any clarification

I don't know how I missed this before, but you're from just down the
road David - I'm in Asheville. One of these days I mean to give a demo
of Xfce to the LUG - should our LUG ever have a meeting again.....
