I tried to no avail 1) to call xfce4-session through ssh-agent 2) to unset
SSH_AUTH_SOCK SSH_AGENT_PID before calling xfce4-session 3) to chown
root /tmp/.ICE-unix/

I give up trying to allow an xfce session at the console and under VNC.

This is not possible also with MATE: the VNC session, started after the one at
the console, is blocked on:

  Could not acquire name on session bus
  Close

and then nothing is usable.

As samuel said earlier, having two sessions may:

  cause great confusion and weird happenings.

I have a workaround. For years, I use only a VNC session.

When at the console I only connect to it with a vncviewer "session" defined
as:

    [Desktop Entry]
    Version=1.0
    Name=vncviewer1 Session
    Exec=vncviewer :1
    Icon=
    Type=Application
    DesktopNames=VNCVIEWER1

otherwise, I connect to it with "vncviewer -via".

I don't need to have GPU acceleration. This may be available with vglrun, when
at the console.
