Not sure if this is new though since I haven't used autostart for many applications before on previous versions.

Currently I'm autostarting a few applications in my Xfce environment:
- skype
- zoom
- spideroak

All of them are supposed to have a task icon. Specifically for example spideroak and zoom cannot be fully exited from the main window but that needs to be done from the right click menu of the taskbar icon.

But my observation is that in almost every session startup the zoom and spideroak icons do not appear while this always works when they are started manually.
My guess is a race condition when starting the desktop so they do not appear.

Performing xfce4-panel --restart still show all icons correctly.

This may have been caused by xfce4-session not working properly. See:
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/commit/?id=0a915310582803296fbfb075e1ea1c045b20bfcc

Please test with xfce4-session 4.13.2 or newer.
