Of course a session manager can only manage session aware clients :-),
to be exact: xfce4-session can only manage X11R6-SM aware clients. I'm
working on getting xsm's smproxy to work with xfce4-session, but for
some reason, it does not send a SaveYourselfDone. Anyway, if a client
is not session aware (I don't know if opera or aterm are session
aware), it cannot be restarted by the session manager. You should add
a line to your .xinitrc to start the program, e.g.:

---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# Start non-session aware clients
opera&
aterm -e mutt&
# fire up session manager
xfce4-session
---------------------------------

Or something like that.
