This is the default binding for Ctrl-Alt-Delete anyway. It seems to work
fine for most people, at least.

It works most of the time, but

Hmh, it doesn't really seem related. xfdesktop has nothing to do with
that, so I wonder why it should be link. Are you 100% confident that,
each time you press ctrl-alt-del (well, each “failed” time), the message
is displayed in .xsession-errors?

HMmh, strange. Maybe check you don't have a conflicting application
running or multiple shortcuts bound to ctrl-alt-del?
