Hi,

Here is what a fresh Xubuntu 11.04 installation shows in Session & 
Startup > Application Autostart :
"
[  ] Xfce Settings helper
[  ] xfce4-tips (Tips and tricks)
[x] Certificates and Key Storage (GNOME Keyring: PKCS#11 Component)
[x] Update Notifier (Check for available updates automatically)
[x] Secret Storage Service (GNOME Keyring: Secret Service)
[  ] Notes (Ideal for your quick notes)
[x] Network Manager (Control your network connections)
[x] PulseAudio Sound System (Start the PulseAudio Sound System)
[x] Print Queue Applet (System tray icon for managing print jobs)
[x] PolicyKit Authentication Agent (PolicyKit Authentication Agent)
[x] SSH Key Agent (GNOME Keyring: SSH Agent)
[x] XFCE Volume Daemon (Daemon managing the volume multimedia keys and 
displaying volume notifications)
[x] Check for new hardware drivers (Notifiy about new hardware drivers 
available for the system)
[x] Power Manager (Power managment for the Xfce desktop) "

So I'd say "Volume Control (Show desktop volume control)" and "Power 
Manager (Power manager daemon)" should not be there.
