There's also an issue I discovered the other day that (on my machine at 
least) increases xfce4-session's client start time from 2 seconds to 9 
seconds.  I'm not sure how to solve it... getting an app 
(xfce4-settings-helper, in this case) into the session that isn't 
already there is a pain in the ass with the current system.  I might add 
a dbus extension to 4.6.1 to let apps go "hey, I don't care if the user 
has saved the session yet or not, I want in now!" ... at least until I 
do something much nicer for 4.8.
