Most likely you have two applications trying to manage the desktop. xfdesktop is probably one of them. Find out which app (nautilus, nemo, pcmanfm, etc) is the other one and configure that app to run with the option to not manage the desktop (something like passing it a "no-desktop" parameter).
2. For some reason my home folder comes up on startup.
If you mean that your file manager is starting on startup and displaying your home folder, then either remove it from your start-up applications (Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart) or clear your saved sessions (Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Session). If this file manager is not Thunar, there is also a good chance that it trying to manage the desktop on startup, which might explain what you are seeing in point #1.

Thanks . End process on nemo which I guess got saved to saved sessions and my file manager doesn't startup now.
