Actually, I'm not using rox-session -- but you still answered my
question. I've been using gnome-session as a session manager, and I
*had* been using xsm before that; this was probably why the xfce4 plugin
stopped working for me.

Could an alert be put into the plugin stating that if another xsetting
server (and give examples like ROX-Session and GNOME session manager)
is running, this option will not work?

Even better would be to detect if one is running... ;-) Wish I knew C
and/or C++...
