Try this: re-check that option to automatically save sessions. Close all
your apps. Log out, log back in. rinse. repeat. Now, go back and
un-check that option again. Hopefully it will "stick".

Your XF86Config file should have a input section for your keyboard, with
entries like this:

Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel"   "microsoft"
Option "XkbLayout"  "us"
   # you might need a different layout.

Mainly, the model should be "microsoft". 
When that is done, the "Windows" key becomes   (or "Super"), and
the menu key is "Menu". I redefine all my window manager shortcuts with
those keys.

One way to fix this would be to log out, log in on a VT, and delete
.gnome2/session -- this'll clear anything you have saved for the session.

You may have to mess with xmodmap.

[gentoo-user] gnome session changes...

[Andrei Ivanov]

Hello,
I'm having some trouble convincing gnome not to save changes to the 
session.

By default, gnome saves the changes, so if I logout of gnome with some 
programs running, when I logon the next time it starts them again.

So I closed all the applications and logged out, and then I logged in 
again (no applications were started automatically... good).
I disabled "Applications-> Desktop preferences-> Advanced-> Session 
Options:  Automatically save changes to session" and logged out.

But when I logged in, the "Sessions" configuration dialog appeared, and, 
after it, Nautilus also started and this happens now every time... :(

What can I do ?


Btw: why can't I use the `win` key on my keyboard as a shortcut ? (it 
seems gnome doesn't see the key press)
