I removed xfce4-session and clean ~/.cache/sessions/. And it's neither in ~/Desktop/Autostart.
While xfce4-session is not installed, acroread doesn't start.

When I start gnome this problems doesn't happen

Did you cleared ~/.cache/sessions/ while you were logged out? If it's neither in the session file nor in autostart, then it's not xfce4-session starting acroread.

And what happens when you run rm -Rf ~/.cache/sessions.

After removing xfce4-session, acroread stop loading (A root session doesn't have acroread starting)

So I reinstalled xfce4-session and close all windows and made save session, re-login, and the problem goes on.
Acroread continues to open on xfce4 start.

You can try to remove the xfce4-session package and then start xfce, if the acroread is still launched, some other application triggers it...

That was my first solution, I even removed autostart for grelk2, skype, amsn. Saved the session with no open programs. And acroread starts agains.

If this is caused by the session manager, it should be fixed by closing the application -> quit -> check the "save session box" -> logout. If you don't have this a logout dialog, there should be an option in the session manager settings to enable it.

When I start xfce, acroread starts also and tries to open a old file I had with my current user. (not root)

this is followup of http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-50 … +xfce.html
but no solution :?

It's nothing in ~/Desktop/Autostart and neither in ~/.config/autostart
I remove acroread (no error), I put again and it starts again.
