Yeah, it looks like your old session was broken, therefore
xfce4-session always tried to restore that session (which did not even
include a window manager 8-)...

Grab the latest xfce-utils (and xfce4-iconbox if you use it) from CVS,
its now available with AnonCVS.

The session manager can only handle session-aware apps (only X11R6
session aware apps to be exact). I'm working on getting gnome-smproxy
or smproxy to work, but for now using smproxy to connect X11R5 apps
does not work.
