.state files created in ~/.cache/sessions despite...

... "Automatically save session on logout" in "Session and Startup" being unchecked.

Debian Trixie, XFCE 4.20.

files in ~/.cache are not used for saved sessions so the setting doesn't change files in cache.

I use a tmpfs for ~/.cache and have relocated many files to use it. It can be wiped on every boot if you want.
