I vaguely remember having similar behavior as you described in the first 
message, but I can't recall what was the root cause of that problem.
Probably it was Xfce4 user session failing to start because of config 
file or cache corruption.
Try to create a new test user and login using these new credentials, 
just to test it out.

It would be great if you'd also share an information about your system, 
installed version of Xfce, etc.
Contents of log files in your user's home directory "~/.xsession-errors" 
and "~/.xfce4-session.verbose-log".
You can use Debian Pastezone [1] to share long text files.
