I have turned off sessions and they still persist when I login.

As a temporary fix to this issue I have modified my .xinitrc file to contain rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions before exec startxfce.

Without this line programs that were running before the previous logout come up again.

I think disabling session saving does not mean the already saved sessions are ignored.

With 4.13.2 saved sessions are much more discoverable, presented in a separate tab in the settings dialog, so I think the interaction with session saving should be more intuitive now. Closing bug as fixed for now.
Please feel free to reopen if you disagree!
