Yeah, you usually only get a .xsession-errors if you run Xfce from a
display manager (and then it probably depends on which one).  You really
just want console output from the (real) console that Xfce is started on.

Or, I guess in this case, you could kill xfdesktop, and start it from a
terminal window.  Apps started from the desktop right-click menu should
then get that terminal as stdout/stderr.  If you're using the menu
plugin in the panel, you'd kill xfce4-panel and start that from a
terminal instead.

Hmm, that's an interesting theory, though I'm pretty sure xfwm4 will
force apps to an existing workspace if they request an invalid workspace
number.
