A quick search on google led me to the XFCE documentation.

which seems to be suggesting you add lines to a file in /etc/xdg/.  I've
never done this so you'll have to play around and see can you get it to
work.

Probably not really, in that edubuntu isn't supported with anything other
than gnome (which doesn't exhibit this issue) and the xubuntu guys aren't
really expecting you to use thin clients.  If it is a big, it would be in
xubuntu.
