Increasing importance to critical. I am running Karmic and it seems to have gotten worse. Removing ~/.cache/sessions doesn't seem to ultimately fix it (and it isn't really a fix because as I understand, some real data is killed doing so). The close to 100 instances of xfdesktop I usually have become active regularly and at those times the computer reaches a load of 100 and is unusable for several minutes. The man page says "Only one instance of xfdesktop can be running at a time" so this is bound to create problems.
