It works fine for me and I don’t have xfce-session running, yet all of 
the above works fine for me. I do have an xfconfd showing up in my 
process tree though.

I use `systemd --user` as my session manager, so everything in 
~/.xinitrc is commented out, ~/.xprofile starts iBus (though that could 
be put in ~/.config/openbox/environment), and my autostart file starts 
systemd, sets my keyboard layout (xkb), starts the screensaver daemon 
and orage for a calendar. It’s very tidy and easy to control.
