I had this problem and found success with modifying the file below, using tty, replacing all instances of the old user name with the new user name and then rebooting.

 

/home/${newUserName}/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-${computerName}:0

 

 

Thank you for sharing knowledge. I owe you a beer. Respect.

 

Looks like this issue occurs in premade kali vmware virtual machines but not in virtualbox ones. There is a set of different files in /home/$USER/.cache/sessions .

 

I will continue researching about this. 

Regards
