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.
YMMV
Oh, I forgot, also "killall -9 xfdesktop" (that's the actual desktop).
