xfce-session has open tcp ports listening on 0.0.0.0, why?

I noticed, that xfce4-session has some interesting ports open...

# netstat -luptan|grep sess
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:41705           0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN     2254/xfce4-session
tcp6       0      0 :::59545                :::*
LISTEN     2254/xfce4-session

Can somebody explain to me what is the purpose of those ports and why
are they binded to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1?

Thanks!

Mart
