You said that X also crashes when this happens, correct?  If so, rebuild
xorg-server with -DWITH_DEBUG.  ssh into the machine and "gdb startx
-- :0", or If you can get X running before starting xfce4-session, just
attach gdb to the running Xorg server.  You must do this from a second
machine or you will just lock everything up.  When the server exits,
your screen will freeze and you will be able to get a backtrace from
gdb.  Then just hit 'c' in gdb and it will finish aborting and restart
or exit...
