Xfce not autostarting after logging in

Xfce used to start up automatically on a FreeBSD 7.1 machine, but as of late this is not happening anymore. This means that the user has to enter "startxfce4" right after entering username and password. The .xsession file has the following contents:
Code:
# cat /usr/home/user01/.xsession 
/usr/local/bin/numlockx &
/usr/local/bin/startxfce4

Can someone let me know where to look for the reasons why there is no xfce autostart?

xfce4-session(1)					      General Commands Manual						  xfce4-session(1)

NAME
xfce4-session - Starts up the Xfce Desktop Environment SYNOPSIS
xfce4-session DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-session command. The xfce4-session program starts up the Xfce Desktop Environment and is typically executed by your login manager (e.g. xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm or from your X startup scripts). It will load your last session or a default session that includes the standard Xfce programs if no saved session is available. xfce4-session is an standard X11R6 session manager that can manage any X11R6 SM compliant program, including GNOME and KDE programs. xfce4-session uses the contents of the ~/.cache/sessions/ directory for starting previously saved sessions. OPTIONS
xfce4-session takes the following command line options: --disable-tcp Disable binding to TCP ports in the ICE layer. This is not possible on every platform. If you use this option on a platform that does not support it, xfce4-session will print a warning message and ignore the setting. --help Print a help screen and exit. --version Output version information and exit. ENVIRONMENT
xfce4-session's behaviour is affected by the following environment variables. XDG_CONFIG_HOME Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If this environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.config/ XDG_CONFIG_DIRS Set of preference ordered base directories relative to which configuration files should be searched in addition to the $XDG_CON- FIG_HOME base directory. The directories should be separated with a colon. XDG_CACHE_HOME Specifies the root for all user-specific cache data. If this environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.cache/ FILES
xfce4-session reads its configuration from Xfconf. xfce4-session stores its session data into $XDG_CACHE_HOME/sessions/. AUTHOR
