As someone else mentioned, you can use an xinitrc script addition for 
that.  I'm not adding app-specific hacks to xfce4-session for something 
like this.

There's currently no standard for an "autostop" type thing to complement 
autostart.  This might be useful, but personally I'm not interested in 
leading an effort to create a standard.  If one pops up and appears to 
gain cross-desktop support, I'd be happy to implement it, of course.

P.S.  FYI, it's "Xfce" or "xfce"; the "XFce" capitalization is from the 
old XForms days.
