it was suggested to downgrade from hal-0.5.11-7 to hal-0.5.11-4. and that work for me. but my system
not saving my desktop setting. I have the "automatically save session on logout" check.

I am using xfce4 as my DM

hi,
check your home folder permissions. open up your /home/ right click on your username folder click properties and in permissions dialog check that owner can view/edit files and then check something like apply to all subfolders and files
