Disabling or preventing XFCE Sessions

Problem: XFCE keeps saving sessions. Even though I disable sessions XFCE still starts up with a session or even if I clear sessions XFCE still creates new ones.

System details:
Xubuntu 13.10
uname -a Linux Misaka 3.11.0-15-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 30 17:22:01 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I don't know what causes this and I'm sure smarter people have smarter solutions but this one worked for me: At first I thought it would solve its self so Got all my updates and I'm 'settled in' and I find out updates don't resolve the problem so here's how I did it: Delete everything in the .sessions folder then change the read/write permissions.

CLI:
cd ~
ls -al ~/.cache/ | grep sessions
cd ~/.cache/sessions/
rm *
cd ..
chmod 555 sessions/
ls -al ~/.cache/ | grep sessions



Warning, the "rm" command is both incredibly dangerous and a great way to fuck up your computer and it's probably irresponsible of me to even type it here; you may want to avoid using it. Not that I know this from experience, or anything...

Or do it with the GUI:

Perform the normal steps of session clearing:
Go to: Session and Startup
    XFCE Applications Menu->Settings Manager->Session and Startup
Click: "Session" tab
Click: "Clear Saved Sessions"

Close out of all that stuff and move on to the next part

Go to: Your Home Directory/Folder
    XFCE Applications Menu->Accessories->File Manager
    Click: the little house with your login name
Do: Show hidden files
    Click View
    Click "Show Hidden Files"
     or use the Ctrl+H keystroke.
Go to: .cache
Go to: sessions
Do:  Delete anything in there, you can leave thumbs, I did,
Go back to .cache
Right click: Sessions
Click Properties
Click Permissions
Do: change the access of Owner, Group, & Others to Read only

Close out of all that stuff and you're done

And so now, whatever it was that was causing sessions to be saved....can't....

Installing japanese Input

Oh, so...Yeah....Here is this. I made it a while ago but never linked it here. I suppose I should do that in the future.

This is me installing Japanese input support on ubuntu 9.04. The steps are pretty much the same for 10.04 and it seems to work for net-books as well.



Video is probably easier to follow if you pop it out, like it's hot; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAA52SGzhL4


There is no sound because I always sound like a huge nerd over microphone
