First, you'd be wise to look at all the various logs to find out why it's freezing. I use XFCE as well and I don't have that issue. Is it the desktop (session) manager or the display manager? The desktop manager would be something like "killall -9 xfce4-session" and it should restart. There are a number of different display managers that could be used, however (lightdm, sddm, etc.). I use "lightdm" so the command would be "killall -9 lightdm" to kill it.
