The program executes fine when it's menu item is clicked, but it does't work on log-on. This is because xfce4-session is ignoring the Path entry in the .desktop file that should set the working directory for the executable - and the app is broken enough to fail if it's started in the wrong directory. I'm using xfce4-session as packaged for Fedora 16: xfce4-session-4.8.3-1.fc16.x86_64.

There are some others in libxfce4ui/libxfce4ui/xfce-spawn.c that look plausible to use here, but I'm going to defer this one to someone more experienced.
