I have the exact same problem. Workaround: The programs being launched are being linked to from ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session so one can delete all the files in that folder.
This problem might be related to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome- session/+bug/34321 since the common thing might be that those .desktop files in the saved-session folder aren't deleted after use. -- Preferences > Startup Applications > Options Tab Not Honoring Help Documentation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
