I use lightdm to login, which I do in the usual fashion by entering a
user name and password.  A xfce4-terminal with 3 panes is started
automatically by the session.  The session also starts other things: see
below.

When I do a File->Close Tab on that terminal, or if I start up a new one
and do a File->Close Tab on it the problem is triggered.  It does not
matter when I do it.  I can do it immediately after login, or after the
laptop has been running for days - it unconditionally happens.

The session startup configuration is:

Which I suspect is all pretty normal.  Also pretty normal are these two
process, which are started by Xsession because use-ssh-agent is set
in /etc/X11/Xsession.options.  This appears to be the default setting:

rstuart  28913 28893  0 08:50 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --sh --write-env-file=/home/rstuart/.gnupg/gpg-agent-info-russell-laptop /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session x-session-manager
rstuart  28914 28893  0 08:50 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --sh --write-env-file=/home/rstuart/.gnupg/gpg-agent-info-russell-laptop /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session x-session-manager

The laptop concerned is a fresh install of wheezy.  About the only thing
unusual that happened was after the shock of seeing Gnome3, I
experimented (ie apt-get installed and uninstalled) with a number of
window manages before settling on xfce4.
