how to ignore the session cache?

I am using xfce 4.6.0 with xubuntu 9.04. Using xfce, whenever I login, the default is to use the session cache that is contained in the directory, ~/.cache/session. I would like instead to start with a completely fresh session every time I login, essentially ignoring the cache. Is there a way in xfce to start a new session as a default every time I login?

Can't you just delete all the contents of ~/.cache/sessions and uncheck "Automatically save session on logout", in Settings > Session and Startup?

Re: how to ignore the session cache?

Yes, I did just that. But occasionally xubuntu would hang, I would reboot, and then when I try to login, I would find my session corrupted. The sessions were still being cached! Just last week I realised that the sessions were still being saved (the quit panel has the "save session" checkbox checked by default). Unchecking that appears to have stopped the saving of sessions.

So problem solved.
