If xfwm4 can log to a session manager, it saves the state of the desktop
and will put windows back to their place as they reappear at next logon.

The session-id is used to identify the application/window, but non
session aware apps have no such session-id. In that case, xfwm4 tries to
use other methods to identify the window and restore the
position/geometry. That might fail in some case (the only reliable
method is session-id)

Short answer, no.
