A few small things in user xsession-errors

I am fairly sure I can ignore this. But my OCD just demands I post the fact that /home/user/ outputs a small .xsession-errors file (see below).  In an effort to figure out what is starting with my login I ran a simple ls /etc/xdg/autostart of which the output can be found below.  I also double-checked ls ~/.config/autostart which outputted nothing.  Finally, making sure everything else is OK I double-checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/lightdm/ lightdm.log and seat0-greeter.log and x-0.log (all the same path). Everything looked OK to me (I can share them if needed). The reason for all this is I'm assuming something at startup is fishy but I cannot target what.

The obvious answer is the warning telling me xfce4-session-archbaby2020:0 is missing when it is not.  I changed the permissions on /home/zelda/ and all folders below to 0777 (I know, overkill).  At this point, I would presume that error would go away but it has not.
