This works, however, line wrapping needs some more care.

It definitely belongs to the same package as xfce4-about. As for the objection 
that it starts with session and thus belongs to xfce4-session, it is not valid, 
because the installation of the xfce4-tips-autostart.desktop file will be moved 
together with xfce4-tips.

Maybe some sort of XML, like what is done with the menu in Xfce-4.4?
