clear xfce session cache

If un-wanted programs are automatically started at login you may need to
clear the xfce session cache.

Main Menu see Settings icon - bottom right
Note: Depending on your configuration, the Settings may also be a
dropdown pick on the main menu.
Go to Session and Startup - 3rd group down
The Sessions Tab - See Clear Saved Sessions Button at bottom
Click Clear Saved Sessions and Close
Log Out&Log In to re-load xfce4
If that did not work, insure the Application Autostart check bock is
un-checked

You can Manually Clear cache in terminal
rm -fr ~/.cache/sessions/*
