.xprofile and checking which session is going to start to do something

I have multi wm, xfce4, dwm, i3 etc..
I have nw-applet starting twice in xfce4 due to it too is in my xprofile file ...
what little bit of code that needs to be wrtten to check for a session to stop it or start it running what ever it is I need to be ran or not ran?

ie

 if [ ! xfce4 ] ; then
  nw-applet
 fi

what is that part that really needs to be inside of the [ ]  brackets?

Wouldn't be easier to disable nm-applet from startup applications on XFCE?
